This depends on a lot of things.  Right now, I don't think that any team that
actually needs a center would trade Duncan (although if Battie or Foyle look
very impressive at the pre-draft camps then this may change the story a
little), so we'd have to hope for a team that doesn't need a center to get the
#1 pick.  Then we'd have to see where our picks fall and what the #1 pick team
needs, and whether or not we could unload some of our current guys that don't
fit into the C's long term future into the deal.
