2013 NBA Draft Do-Over: Giannis goes #1?

[Fafnir]

the one thing that seems to come out of the reviews of this draft class is that the smartest thing to have done was trade a top pick for a solid vet player.

If you traded your 2013 pick you wouldn't have nearly as much flexibility with the 2014 pick, which is significantly more valuable.

in a draft-and-trade move, no impact at all. 

If trading that pick in advance, it would not impact the ability to trade the 2014 pick after the 2013 draft occurred provided we still have a 2015 pick (which we do).

No one wanted any part of that draft. Dallas traded down a bunch to save money and got nothing much for it. Cleveland by all reports was desperate to move the number one pick.

Only Philly made any sort of move in that draft.

In retrospect I'm sure the Cavs wish they had taken whatever offer they had received for the 1st pick.

Probably not true, they just wish they'd taken a different player.
