We are just over a day away from the 2009 NBA Draft and already we've seen moves around the league -- some big and some not so big. The interesting thing is, the ones that appear to be the most insignificant, often turn out to be they keys to much bigger moves as NBA GMs steer themselves towards outdoing their peers on Draft night.
