Nice job Mr. Jones
The Blazers have no pick, however, that is not to say that the Blazers won’t end up with one or two rookies after draft day. Neil Olshey is arguably the best bargain hunting GM in the league. While Dame DOLLA and K-Love drop dimes, Olshey drops pennies and manages to pick up dollars. This was evident at the trade deadline a few months ago, when Olshey turned a Tim Frazier roster spot and a future 2nd into Brian Roberts, Cleveland’s 2018 1st Round Pick, and Miami’s 2021 2nd Round Pick. That Cleveland pick will be the biggest asset that Olshey can use to move into the first round. That pick will be in the low 20’s as long as Lebron doesn’t make another “Decision”. Therefore, Portland should probably look to trade Cleveland’s first round pick instead of their own. Olshey and Paul Allen will explore the option as Olshey was quoted saying “We always have a draft pick. We work for Paul Allen.”
Nice job Mr. Jones
