Ranking This Season’s Top 3 Trade Assets for Each NBA Team

New aspirations for 30 fanbases, the prospect of a new group of breakout ballers, and a nightly highlight reel that will be difficult for your eyes to believe all accompany the beginning of a new NBA season. Teams have spent the past few months adjusting their rosters, but the upcoming weeks may compel clubs to reconsider those choices. This season could be quite active on the trade front due to the relatively wide-open title race and the significant motivation to tank before what seems to be a stacked 2023 draft.

2021 NBA Lottery Mock Draft

2021 NBA Lottery Mock Draft

With exactly a week until the 2021 NBA Draft, I thought I’d try my hand at doing a mock draft of the lottery, which are the first 14 picks. These picks are owned by the teams that missed the playoffs this year, although a team like the Orlando Magic, for example, has two picks in the lottery because of a trade made with the Minnesota Timberwolves. There will likely be trades before, or during, the draft next Thursday, July 29, but for the purposes for this mock, I’m going to assume that all the picks stay the same.
