Sam Quinn of CBS Sports ranked the value of all 63 first-round draft picks that have been traded in the NBA. Coming in at No. 36 is the first-round pick that the Portland Trail Blazers still owe the Chicago Bulls as a result of the head-scratching Larry Nance Jr. trade.
That pick is lottery-protected, which, on the surface, makes it surprising that it's deemed so valuable. However, the dilemma lies in Portland trying to maximize its return from the blockbuster Damian Lillard trade.
Portland has Milwaukee's first-round pick in 2029 and first-round pick swaps in 2028 and 2030.
