Trade or Use the Third Pick? Trail Blazers Debate Continues

National pundits continue to name the Portland Trail Blazers as a franchise central to this NBA offseason with Damian Lillard’s future and the third overall pick, key talking points.

Rose Garden Report’s Sean Highkin joined HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto to further the discussion on the latter’s podcast. While Scotto said he believed the Blazers would actually execute the third pick, Highkin differed.

Scotto: Portland has received inquiries from various teams interested in the third pick, I’m told. So far, Portland is listening, but the sense is the Blazers are comfortable taking either Scoot Henderson or Brandon Miller if either player falls to them, depending on what Charlotte does at pick two.
