As the 2017 NBA Draft edges nearer, trade rumors are beginning to heat up. While lots of the focus has been directed towards the lottery’s upper echelon, the majority of mid-draft movement typically stems from the latter portions — especially when teams have multiple first round picks. The Blazers have three of them, boasting numbers 15, 20 and 26, likely leaving them with limited roster options should they hold onto all three.
The New York Knicks, a team initiating some form of rebuild, are rumored to be involved in potential trade discussions.
