For all of the pre-draft speculation, the 2012 NBA Draft came and went without a blockbuster trade. No current NBA superstars switched teams and despite plenty of rumors, no top-10 picks were traded. However, despite the lack of a blockbuster move, there were still plenty of draft day trades on Thursday.
