I don't think teams usually want to trade up just 1 spot.
I could see it happening if you drafted the player they want and force their hand. For example, I can totally see the Bucks draft Wiggins and then immediately trade him to Philly for the 3rd and 10th picks.
I could also see the Jazz draft Exum and then immediately trade him to Boston for the 6th and 17th picks. I could see the Celtics holding out to see if he falls and then be willing to make the deal if he doesn't. It's a dangerous game, but it all depends on how your board is set. Don't draft a guy unless you're willing to keep him.
