After the Portland Trail Blazers were eliminated from postseason contention Sunday, eyes in Rip City can officially shift to the NBA Draft on June 25-26.
All that’s really left to determine over Portland’s final three regular-season games is where the team will rank heading into May’s NBA Draft Lottery (oh, and the team needs to determine soon if head coach Chauncey Billups is sticking around, but that’s a topic for another day). As it stands this afternoon, the Blazers hold the ninth-worst record in the NBA, giving them the ninth-best odds in the lottery.
