All Quiet On The Trade Front..... For Now

With the exception of a few minor deals there has been little apparent activity in the NBA trade markets.  The 76ers and Kings swapped bigs and the Warriors took cash from Portland to exchange second round picks but for the most part there as been an eerie calm leading up to Thursday's draft.  But the storm is brewing, the rumors are beginning to fly and by Friday morning of this week the NBA landscape will be drastically altered by the annual trade-fest that accompanies The Draft.

Evan if the rumors of Chris Paul being traded turn out to be false we should still expect a significant number of veterans to exchange teams as well as plenty of draft picks changing hands.  With all of the smokescreens being thrown up by the GM's and coaches it's impossible to tell which players will be on the move but history tells that they will move and some of the moves will probably shock us.

Two days to go until it all goes down.  I look forward to following this post up with a look back after The Draft.  Until then, buckle up and enjoy the ride.
