The Clippers are rumored to be looking into buying a pick in the second round of Thursday's NBA draft, and it's likely that such a pick will be for sale, just as in most years. Second round players hardly ever work out in the NBA, and lots of owners are cash-strapped and see the money that they get for a pick that's unlikely to turn out as a way of offsetting the cost of a player's raise that puts them into luxury tax territory. Also, teams that have stockpiled picks in a series of trades could end up with 3 or more picks in the same draft, not wanting to carry that many rookies on their roster, and willing to get a few bucks instead of a player that they're gonna cut.
