The announcement of the NBA lottery order is always significant. Usually, there’s a team that’s likely to move their pick.
This year, the Portland Trail Blazers are the team to watch. This team just landed the third overall pick in the NBA. With that said, they aren’t like most lottery teams.
Most lottery teams don’t have Damian Lillard. The Blazers tanked to land this pick.
Ordinarily, a team with a franchise player isn’t selecting within the top 5.
With that in mind, many expect them to trade the pick. Why wouldn’t they? If they make the right move, they could get back to title contention next season.
Could landing Mikal Bridges of the Brooklyn Nets be the right move?
