Teams Looking to Trade First-Round Picks: Over the next few weeks, don’t be surprised if a large number of teams outside of the lottery try to trade their first-round pick.

Multiple sources have told HOOPSWORLD that a lot of teams are trying to get rid their pick, which could make for an interesting draft night.

"Almost everyone wants to get out of their pick in this draft," said one Western Conference executive. "For some teams, it’s hard to take on money for multiple years in this economic climate, especially if the player would not make an impact and help the team win immediately."

That means contending teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder or Chicago Bulls may opt to trade their late first-round pick rather than draft a rookie who won’t really contribute (just like Reggie Jackson and Jimmy Butler this season). Expect plenty of trade rumors over the next several weeks.

The draft didn’t feature a strong crop of talent, and now it looks like every blogger and his mother are trying to convince themselves of absurd analyses, like "The Wizards had an A+ draft." That is batsh*t crazy, but we’ll ignore it until Jan Vesely ends up playing in Greece three years from now and Chris Singleton averages 6 points, 4.7 rebounds, and plays "really good" defense for a 28-win Wizards team before we begin saying, "We told you so."
