I would bet against any team trading a first-round pick for cash (and the required token second-rounder) -- something that hasn't happened since Denver traded the pick that became Gobert in 2013 -- but given economic uncertainty, I'd expect some teams toward the bottom of the first round to try to exchange those picks for roughly equivalent future picks. We will see some second-rounders sell for cash.

The issue with selling 1st rounders this year is half of them are traded. and almost all of them are with NBA franchises with deep pocket books. Boston x2, NYK, Lakers plus Toronto make up final 5 picks. Toronto at pick 29 is the only one on the table that might get sold. Now you might see cash plus early 2nd to move up move. Or something similar of very minor value.
