The back half of the top 10 is filled with teams reportedly willing to shop picks.
That speaks to a couple of things:
(1) A lot of teams that view themselves as playoff-caliber had disappointing seasons this year and want to rebound next year.
(2) The second and third tier of players in this draft are not especially highly regarded, at least not by the teams selecting in that range.
Well lets look at a team by team basis
Sacremento: badly need a 4 and a future pg. Only 4 worth taking in top 10 is Latvian and the good pgs will be gone by 4 most likely. Also need to make Cousins happy ASAP. Makes sense to trade out.
Detroit: Detroit would love to add either Euro, but both will probably be gone. Honestly I bet they just dont like Johnson and are afraid it will come to them and WCS and Johnson will be the only ones available.
Charlotte: they have had top 10 picks in the last 4 drafts (MKG, Zeller, Walker, Vonleh) they want to return to the playoffs after a regression last year. Adding some depth via later picks or established talent makes more sense than swinging for taking a redundant player (Johnson and MKG)
Miami: Reilly (spelled wrong priobably) willl certainly want to return to contention asap.
I think its more that BPA wont make sense for them rather than they dont like the prospects as prospects.
I think for each of these teams, there are situations where those picks become very available and very not available
Sacremento: Mudiay falls vs. Mudiay and Latvia go 4, 5
Detroit: Euros fall vs. WCS = BPA by far
Charlotte: WCS falls or Hezonja or Winslow vs. Johnson is BPA by far
Miami: they probably want to move out mo matter what
