    I don't know but I'd love to see it happen now that Deer season is over...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the trading deadline has passed. We cannot make any trades until after the lottery!!!

    So, what you are really asking is, can we trade Drew for a 1st-rounder, not "can we trade Drew for lottery balls."

    There's a big difference.

    heypartner,

    I read DaneB to be saying that we could do a draft day trade... (reminds me of the last near draft day trade, ahhh... Kevin Willis & Doug Christie and the 5 and 12... oops where am I?)

    and that would still be a 'lottery pick' just as Steve Francis is a lottery pick now. just as I will pick my nose on the day of the lottery (damn desert).

    achebe,

    draft day for sure. i'm just making sure everyone remembers that lottery day is during the playoffs. the draft slots are set before anyone can trade again.

    so, no chance to trade drew for a pick from the current 11th worst team, for instance, to give us more lottery balls in the basket for good luck.

    I was talking about trading Bryce Drew during the Draft, much like the Raptors traded Antonio Davis for #5. I think we might be able to trade Drew for a pick right after ours...

    When Antonio Davis got traded, he got traded like couple days later. Everyone knew antonio davis would go to toronto so they just waited till later and announced the deal.

    I agree with what you are saying DaneB, I would love to do something like that.
