Could the Blazers be looking to move even higher up the lottery?
The Portland Trail Blazers finished the 2023-24 season with a terrible record of 21-61, giving them solid odds to land a high pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. However, Portland fell to No. 7 and No. 14 overall with their two selections, still giving them two chances to grab some extra talent."Rival front offices think Portland is looking to move up in the draft lottery, potentially all the way to No. 3, which is currently Houston’s pick.
There has been some talk about the Rockets looking to move the pick so Portland could look to take advantage. They could try to package the No. 7 and No. 14 with some other pieces to entice Houston to move the pick to them. The Rockets are an up-and-coming team so landing players such as guard Malcolm Brogdon or Jerami Grant could be interesting. Portland should look to move into the top spots of the draft, even if this class is weaker by all accounts.Matt earned a Master of Science degree in Sport Management from Louisiana State University in 2021.
