Would you be okay with trading next year's 1st round pick?

No pay no sign.

To make trades in the event that there is a possible lockout is ridiculous, you don't know if there will be or won't be. Also, players wouldn't be paid during the lockout, and most likely teams would sign players drafted in 2011 to 6-year contracts instead of 5-year in order to compensate for a lost year. In the end, it doesn't make much of a difference.
