Here's a look at how the NBA Draft could play out if some of the rumored trades go down
Wizards star Bradley Beal is reportedly considering making a trade request from Washington prior to Thursday's NBA Draft. Raptors star Pascal Siakam is apparently available on the trade market. Tea-leaf reading suggests Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons and disgruntled Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard after disappointing playoff exits could be available now or sometime soon, too. All of that tension appears to be coming to a head with Thursday's NBA Draft looming. While it's unlikely all of those franchises in flux address their respective situations, teams could be facing down an imaginary draft day deadline, as unused picks are likely a favorable currency in deals for teams who may have to part with distressed assets.More Related News
