The Portland Trail Blazers hold the 7th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. They’re rumored to be looking for trades, exchanging the selection for veterans who can help their roster now. John Collins, Deandre Ayton, and OG Anunoby have been mentioned prominently.
We’ve covered all those trade possibilities extensively, but there’s another route we’ve hardly touched. What if the Blazers trade up?
The chances of an upward swap don’t appear great. The Orlando Magic, Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, and Sacramento Kings own the first four picks, respectively.
