The LA Lakers traded with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday to make Adou Thiero the No. 36 pick of the 2025 NBA draft. Lakers GM Rob Pelinka sent the No. 45 pick and cash considerations to grab the former Arkansas forward, per Shams Charania. Besides trading up, the Lakers also took some risks in getting the 6-foot-6 forward.
Clutchpoints Lakers insider Anthony Irvin had this to report on Thursday:

Thiero did have some health concerns (knee) through the draft process, but, I’m told the Lakers (a historically risk averse org) are confident it won’t be an issue moving forward.
