The NBA season will officially end in the next few days, at which point all eyes will turn to the draft which scheduled for June 22. Rumors are rampant that certain teams will, depending on their needs, try to trade up or trade down before the draft begins.
Although there are no recent whispers about the Los Angeles Lakers, who own the second pick, there is speculation that other teams with high draft choices such as the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, and Sacramento Kings, may look to make a deal.
With the seemingly imminent demise of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ season, there is also speculation that, to keep LeBron James happy, owner Dan Gilbert may make a bold move this summer to secure another big star to help the Cavaliers better match up with the Warriors next season.
