10 Wild and league-changing predictions for the 2023 NBA Draft

Beal won’t be on the only big name that is traded

Heading into the NBA Draft, with as much smoke that is surrounding the rumor mill, I predict that Beal won’t be the only big name that is moved. Another star will be traded at the NBA Draft. And there are certainly more than a few potential options. Off the top of my head, a few names that could be on the move are Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Zach LaVine, Karl-Anthony Towns, Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, John Collins, and Clint Capela.

These are all players that have found their names in the rumor mill and I expect one of them to be moved, at the very least. Maybe NBA Draft night becomes chaotic and we see multiple big moves. I find that hard to believe but I wouldn’t entirely discount that possibility.

The Beal move is just going to set the table for what could end up being a bigger move once the draft gets fully underway. There’s going to be at least one other team that decides to make the big move to go all-in. And it will send shockwaves through the NBA Draft night.
