Hornets Not Interested In Trading No. 2, Picks 3-8 Could Be Available
Teams in the top part of the draft appear to be more open to trading than any year in recent memory. "I don't remember being this much potential picks in the top-10 openly available," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. "I haven't heard Charlotte is interested in trading. We know Portland is interested in trading. Obviously Houston has been out there. Detroit has been out there. The Magic have the six and 11th picks, they want to package and move up if they can. I doubt they'll be able to, but they're interested. "Indiana has been talking to people about the seventh picks. I've been told they've been trying get wing players. They've been trying to move out of the seventh pick to get a high wing player now. They might be able to if they're motivated enough. "Washington is at eight. We have no idea what Washington is going to do." The Utah Jazz are expected to keep their pick at No. 9, while the Dallas Mavericks are motivated to trade No. 10 for a win-now package. "I think the bidding war to move up is going to be hard," said Windhorst.
