Anyone else surprised by the lack of trades?

I’m shocked! I canceled other plans because I wanted to see the trades!

I think there was like 24 last year.

Two trades is now "a lot"?

Indiana and Washington was the first trade. And then Dallas moving back with OKC.

A lot of these players being taken now in the teens and early 20’s would be second rounders in the last three drafts.

Yeah this draft doesn't look great to me. Last year seemed like a really deep draft.

No it isn't a lot, but it isn't what I would consider a little either. I thought there were 3 or 4 trades. That I would have considered a lot.

Boo POR. I wanted to see the Murray boys reunited, and they took him the pick before SAC.

This year's draft continues to drag on. Kudos to those of you who can hang on to see our second-round selection.

If you have ESPN, JJ Reddick and Jay Bilas are better and calmer.

IND has a lot of picks right now 26, 29, 32 .. maybe MIN can trade a bunch of future seconds for one.

Rumor is they want a vet big wing too. But more like someone like Harrison Barnes in free agency.

We're unlikely to get anybody useful in this years draft. What are the chances of Wendell Moore Jr, and Josh Minott contributing much this year.

To me our need is a PG and according to Tankathon there isn't a PG remaining.

What did we give up? This years second and a future second?
