NBA Draft and Trade Buzz — Bilal Coulibaly, James Harden's decision and NIL's impact on the early entry withdrawal deadline

NBA agents provide their takes and predictions for what is expected to be an active draft cycle

We are three weeks away from the 2023 NBA draft, and trade and recent draft rumors are heating up faster than leftovers in the microwave.

I’m expecting a lot of activity with a flurry of draft-day surprises and perhaps some shocking trades that could potentially change the balance of the league. 

As I mentioned in my last draft buzz post, I lean toward the sources with whom I have built strong relationships over the years.

Over the last few days I’ve been able to gather intel from NBA personnel and offer a glimpse of what to expect over the next few weeks leading up to the draft.
