it was lottery protected in 2022 & 2023 as well. That's right, fucking Olshey put a hold on every available 1st round pick Portland had for 7 years...for Nance
Portland really can't even swap any draft picks till 2029. Oh, they could put a conditional swap of a lottery pick in one of those years, but that's insane.
IMO, there is only one way Portland gets out of that stupid trade without giving up a 1st and that's if they stay in the lottery for the next 5 years....which is entirely possible. The Bulls aren't going to let the Blazers off that hook
that's not even the most frustrating thing about that dumbass trade. Here's what Portland gave up for Nance:

the Bulls traded Markkanen for what the Blazers traded for Nance. Portland could have Markkanen
