A possible sneak peak at a potentially transaction-heavy summer.
After offloading three of the rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers' four draft picks this year, including a lottery selection, and using his one pick on former two-time University of Connecticut superstar center Donovan Clingan, despite already fiedling three rotation big men, team general manager Joe Cronin appears to have hinted at his roster priorities this offseason.
"We’re committed to Scoot and Shaedon being a massive part of what we’re doing, and how do we find ways to give them the support they need and maximize their development?” Cronin said, according toHenderson and Sharpe are the club's two most recent lottery picks prior to Clingan .
By not mentioning his most expensive rostered guard, 6-foot-3 shooting guard Anfernee Simons, it would appear Cronin may be amenable to flipping the 25-year-old and the $53.7 million remaining on his contract this summer. Clearly, he wants to open up a route for Henderson and Sharpe to earn more touches and playing time, while resetting the timeline of his rebuild.
