The 2011 NBA Draft is just a few hours away, and the trade rumors surrounding Thursday night's event will soon prove true or false.

San Antonio has been rumored to be shopping former Finals MVP point guard Tony Parker in hopes of retooling the team for another title run, while rumors involving a potential Steve Nash trade have died down.

Los Angeles Lakers big man Lamar Odom helped the franchise to two consecutive titles in 2009 and 2010, but finds his name the subject of several trade rumors on draft day.

Join Bleacher Report as we take a look at the 10 players most likely to be moved on draft night.

Eric Maynor (Oklahoma City Thunder)

1 of 10

According to ESPN's Chad Ford, the Oklahoma City Thunder want to move up in the first round of Thursday night's draft.

The Thunder own the No. 24 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft but are eyeing a pick in the mid-lottery. According to Ford, OKC has its eyes on Lithuanian Jonas Valanciunas.

The Thunder are believed to be shopping backup point guard Eric Maynor in a potential deal to move up into the top 10 in order to select Valanciunas.

Corey Maggette (Milwaukee Bucks)

2 of 10

ESPN's Ric Bucher reports that the Milwaukee Bucks would be open to moving their No. 10 pick in Thursday's draft.

Small forward Corey Maggette could be one such piece the Bucks include with the lottery pick in order to acquire some fresh talent.

With teams like Oklahoma City looking to break into the top 10, Milwaukee might be able to dump Maggette's contract and its first round pick in exchange for a player like Eric Maynor.

Andre Igoudala (Philadelphia 76ers)

3 of 10

Philadelphia's Andre Igoudala has been the subject of NBA trade rumors for several weeks now.

Many early reports were that the 76ers were in talks with the Los Angeles Clippers to send Igoudala to L.A. for Clippers big man Chris Kaman.

Those talks have died down now and current rumors have Igoudala possibly heading to Los Angeles' other team, the Lakers, in exchange for Lamar Odom potentially.

Josh Smith (Atlanta Hawks)

5 of 10

6 of 10

As mentioned previously, the L.A. Lakers are reportedly shopping Lamar Odom, and not Pau Gasol or Andrew Bynum.

Odom was a critical piece in the Lakers' two championship runs, but seems to be on the move this offseason as Los Angeles attempts to get younger and better with a higher draft pick.

Philadelphia and Cleveland are two potential landing spots for Odom.

Robin Lopez (Phoenix Suns)

7 of 10

Richard Jefferson (San Antonio Spurs)

8 of 10

As mentioned earlier, Spurs guard Tony Parker has been rumored to be on the move at some point during tonight's draft, and that Parker deal would likely have to include Spurs forward Richard Jefferson.

San Antonio is determined to dump Jefferson's contract and retool the team for next season.

Shannon Brown (Los Angeles Lakers)

9 of 10

Reports are that L.A. has include point guard Shannon Brown in many of its trade proposals involving Lamar Odom.

Brown is still young and is a superb athlete, making him a very good trade piece.

Rumors are that the Lakers offered Brown and Odom for Golden State's Monta Ellis, however the deal fell through.

The Lakers are looking to upgrade at point guard this offseason.

Courtney Lee (Houston Rockets)

10 of 10

Houston Rockets guard Courtney Lee could be one potential trade piece as the team desperately tries to move up in the draft.

Houston owns the No. 14 pick but would like to move up into the top 10, maybe even trading with the Bucks for the No. 10 pick.

Reports are that Houston is in talks with Minnesota about the No. 2 pick, as are Washington and Phoenix.

Courtney Lee is the Rockets' player most likely to be moved Thursday night if Houston moves up in the draft.
