Last offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers signed LeBron James possibly for the remainder of his career and somehow, the team had a bad enough record during the 2018-2019 season that put them in position to get a top pick.

The Lakers walked away with the #4 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft that could net them a great player to play alongside LeBron, or use that pick in a trade to get an established player in the league right now.

Once that news came down, LeBron took to Twitter and reacted to the Lakers selection:

#4 ? Beautiful.

Even former Lakers president Magic Johnson was excited about the pick:

Laker Nation, Kyle Kuzma worked his magic to get the number 4 pick for our @Lakers in the NBA draft! The Lakers are going to get a really good young player to help LeBron and the team next season.
