The Portland Trail Blazers are and will remain in the rumor mill until – probably past – the 2023 NBA Draft on June 22. The most significant buzz surrounds a possible Blazers trade involving the No. 3 overall pick.
More scuttlebutt surfaced after reports saying the New Orleans Pelicans, who have a strong interest in G League Ignite guard Scoot Henderson, are attempting to find a deal with either Portland at No. 3 or the Charlotte Hornets at No. 2.
This raises the idea of a Blazers-Pelicans trade if NOLA can’t work out a deal with Charlotte.
