So there's less than two minutes left for teams to trade draft picks? I'm sure like on trade deadlines they'll let teams work out details of deals in place.

This is the weirdest NBA rule, it really has no impact on trades, it's just how they announce them. Instead of trading the actual pick and the new team making the selection (much like the NFL) you now have to have to old team make the pick on your behalf and then have the official trade call with the league after the draft to finalize. It's confusing for the fans and even teams, and it's a cluster on the broadcast, which is why I follow the draft on Twitter, not TV. I hope this rule gets changed soon.

I wonder if we trade up with Orlando to get Mudiay. Magic could use someone like TJones to go with Vucevic. I feel this could be a good trade for the both of us.

WCS was a top 10 pick a couple months ago if I recall correctly. We don't need him now that we know Capela may be onto something.
