Message: [QUOTE="Orangutan, post: 3083351, member: 4946"] I don't disagree that it might be smart for Vegas to trade down, but the problem with trading down is that someone has to want to trade up. Nobody is giving up a lottery pick next year for the privilege of moving up a couple spots unless there is a franchise-changing player available at #1. I don't think there is an obvious franchise-changer like A'ja, Stewie, or EDD in this draft. And if such a player is available, why is the team that holds #1 ever trading that pick? Indiana finished dead last and 9 games out of the playoffs. They have to know that they are likely to be in the 2020 lottery and more than 1 great player away from contention. Why would they ever give up their 2020 1st just to move up 2 spots? [/QUOTE]
