Draft tradewinds
Most of the talk surrounding the impending JUne 28th draft (besides the question of who will be the number one pick) has been who will have the "cojones" to move up or down via a trade when selection time comes around.
Usually teams that already have a young nucleus will look to make a move down with the hopes of adding some veteran talent to round out the roster. Apparently, Toronto has not negated the possibility of exchanging the number one pick in a package for immediate help. While Utah, Portland, Golden State, Philadelphia, NOK Hornets, Memphis, Houston and even Orlando are willing to move up.
