The Portland Trail Blazers hold the 7th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. Even though the Blazers are conducting draft workouts, most of the buzz around their off-season plans surrounds them moving the pick, not using it to acquire a potential star rookie. That stance is not without controversy, as today’s edition of the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag shows.
Dave,
You and other “media experts” are all fired up certain that we’re going to trade the pick for somebody but what about getting a good young player instead? For years we’ve seen that first round picks are the most valuable thing around and you yourself has said that having good players on a cheap deal is smart.
