Why The Portland Trail Blazers Do The Deal
Well, we’re not sure. One thing is certain: that’s what they’d be trying to do here.
After all, this deal has the Blazers keeping the third overall pick. In all likelihood, they’d be selecting whoever was left between Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller.
If they made this deal, and took Miller, they’d have an intriguing wing rotation. Anunoby is already one of the best 3-and-D wings in the NBA. Meanwhile, Miller may be ready to contribute immediately in what would be a scaled-down role.
On the other hand, if they take Henderson, they may use him as a dynamic sixth man from day one.
