Trades, Surprise Picks Highlight NBA Draft Day
The NBA draft opened with two blockbuster trades centered on the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland. Washington acquired Moses Malone for Terry Catledge and a first round pick, while Cleveland gained its first No. 1 pick in 25 years as Roy Hinson moved to Philadelphia. The Cavs used the top pick to take Brad Daugherty with North Carolina connections prominent, and the draft featured wide shifts as Indiana, New York, Phoenix, and Dallas swung unexpected selections. Portland closed the first round with Arvidas Sabonis, a highly touted 7-2 Soviet prospect, while Washington and Denver also secured multiple first rounds.
