See: Portland Trail Blazers of the 2006 and 2007 draft.
They've owned in transactions made on draft day.
Been this much activity on a draft day?
Picks being swapped, players being swapped like crazy.

That's one team and a couple of moves. I'm talking about literally the entire league doing something or trying to do something the day of and the day before the draft.
It seems Portland and Boston have started something.

Oh well, 10.
Tonight is gonna be fun
Take off 10 and that's 9 in a span of two off seasons.
Nothing anywhere near what's happening today and yesterday.
2006 had 16 draft day trades. Long way to go to match that.
I don't think I've ever anticipated an NBA draft more than tonights.
But most of those occured during the draft. I'm mainly talking about the day before and the day of.
It just seems more hectic than usual.
Other than Tim Duncan going #1, of course.
