The Portland Trail Blazers continued their youth movement with the acquisition of small forward Maurice Harkless, sending a future protected second-round pick to the Orlando Magic, as first reported by Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.
The move truly embodies the "low-risk, high-reward" moniker for certain basketball decisions, considering Harkless' age (22) and potential in exchange for a pick that is protected from selections 31 through 55, per NBA.com.
So unless the pick comes in the last five spots of the second round, Portland just nabbed Harkless for essentially nothing.
Magic couldn't have gotten a real second rounder for Harkless?
