If ever a draft screamed trade down, this is it.
Problem is, it's unlikely many teams want to give much to trade up...
True. I just don't think there is much difference, talent wise, between say, the 5-10 picks and the 15-20 picks. You may be able to get a veteran, playoff team to trade up to get a missing piece. Like a Kawi Leonard type of player for SA, for example.
Example, would Boston trade a Paul Pierce ( expiring contract?) and the 16 to PHX so Boston could reload with an Anthony Bennett with the 5 and maybe another player or 2?
disclaimer- totally off top of my head. No idea if this would even work ..cap wise..
