The Portland Trail Blazers are a hot commodity in the rumor mill right now. On one hand, they have a superstar guard in Damian Lillard that is doing a media tour hinting he might be traded. On the other, teams are scrambling to leak their interest in a top-3 pick.
We discussed earlier this week the possibility that the Blazers could work out a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans directly, sending the No. 3 pick and receiving All-Star forward Brandon Ingram in return. While that’s absolutely still on the table as an option, the other route is for the Blazers and Pelicans to be a part of a three-team deal.
