The Portland Trail Blazers are sitting pretty in the 2023 NBA Draft. They don’t have the #1 overall pick and Victor Wembanyama, but their third-overall selection is expected to draw interest on the trade market. Portland is hoping for an accomplished star, but as Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report pointed out in an article about potential draft trades today, the Blazers have room to get creative.
Running down interesting, though speculative, deals across the league Buckley suggests a pair of Portland assets—the third pick and shooting guard Anfernee Simons—might net a smorgasbord of players in return rather than a singular star.
