The Sonics dropped down to the fourth pick on Tuesday night despite having a legitimate shot at landing one of the top two picks and could be looking to deal the selection, according to The Seattle Times.
"Everybody goes into the lottery with hopes of getting the No. 1 pick, but we're excited to have the fourth pick because we feel like we can get a quality player there," General Manager Sam Presti said. "We'll get someone that can help and continue to build on the foundation that we have in place."
Presti admitted that the team is willing to discuss trades for the pick although they still feel as though they can grab a top-tier player.
Seattle has six picks in June's Draft, including two first-rounders.
"With that many selections in the draft, we're certainly going to be busy," Presti said. "The phone will probably ring a few times on draft night. We're going to use those assets as ways to try to build our team and build on the foundation that we have in place."
