I know how it works this time of year in the heart of Transaction Game season.

Bradley Beal, Kristaps Porziņģis, Marcus Smart and Chris Paul (twice) were all traded in a span of just five days leading up to Thursday's NBA Draft.

We repeat: Beal, Porziņģis, Smart and Paul were all just moved.

CP3 twice!

Draft Night, though, was inevitably branded in some corners as "boring" because the trade flurry stopped once picks started being made and the teams that drafted at the top of the lottery all decided to hold firm.

A forecast to brighten your mood if the above describes your viewpoint: More trades are almost certainly forthcoming.
