Generally trading up doesn't happen very often, especially in the very top of the lottery, but if the slots are pretty close and you love a guy at let's say below the top 4 range where teams probably feel like they may have a #1 quality star already. Between the top 4 and 9 though, maybe there's some flexibility.
Wouldn't be willing to give up one of the few remaining future picks to to move up when the available options are all over the place on most mocks. I have my personal preferences and would pick Wagler and Buries over the rest but that's not enough to trade up for them.
Would rather trade down and aim for two mid first round picks if my prefered guard isn't available at #9.
