VIDEO: Olshey Discusses Draft, Trade Exceptions On ESPN

Neil Olshey, the Trail Blazers' president of basketball operations, joined ESPN's "NBA Draft: On The Clock" show Tuesday night as the team prepares for the 2018 NBA Draft, which is scheduled for June 21. During the course of the interview with ESPN's Cassidy Hubbarth, Adrian Wojnarowski and Bobby Marks, Olshey discusses what the Trail Blazers need to do to take the next step, how the way Portland's playoff run ended this season exposed deficiencies on the roster and whether it's difficult to make trades with so many teams over the salary cap.

Much of this tracks with the comments Olshey made during his last appearance on ESPN, though this time, he went into a bit more detail regarding how the team might go about adding veteran talent to the roster going into the 2018-19 season.
