Alright Blazer's Edge Community, we have been waiting all summer to say this, but the draft is officially in session, and the Philadelphia 76ers are so close to officially being on the clock Thursday Night at 5 pm at the Barclays Center. Anyways, the purpose of this thread is to take the assets and picks of each team and potentially exploit the surplus amounts of resources that some teams possess (See: Philadelphia 76ers, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, etc.) Below are 5 scenarios that I think will maximize our ability to get the most out of this big man-heavy draft and get the perfect resources to tool a deep playoff campaign in the 2016-2017 season. Without further ado, here are my five trade predictions! I genuinely encourage you to leave your predictions below, as this was popular with my "Mock Offseason" thread posted a few days ago. Here we go!
