A buddy of mine did it and got:

#1 - 4x
#2 - 2x
#6 - 1x
#7 - 3x

I would pay good $$$ for him to handle Portland's Lottery balls.

I think if we move up to 2 or 3 then it will substantially increase the trade value of our pick.

I'm excited about how much better the team will be in a few years when they decide to keep the pick, choose wisely and have multiple good to great young talents! After hitting on #7, imagine what the new management could do with #2 or 3?!!! Incredible to think about their upside instead of pissing away assets on has beens.

"Getting boned" only happens when you draft a dud.
With the 1st pick in 2007, the Blazers got boned royally when they drafted Greg Oden.

With the 6th/7th pick in 2006, Brandon Roy was drafted.
With the 6th pick in 2012, Damian Lillard was drafted.
With the 7th pick in 2022, Shaedon Sharpe was drafted.

this.

don’t trade the pick—just nail the pick.

yes, the draft is a crapshoot. but the road to championships is ALWAYS lined with a series of solid first round draft picks—higher the better.
 
Portland just hasn't had a lot of top 5 lottery picks historically. https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/teams/Portland-Trail-Blazers/24/Draft-History We've had less than 1/3 as many top 5 picks as the Clippers. A lot of that is a result of that multi-decade long playoff run.

But you look over that list, and when you take into account we've never been a free agent destination, I guess it's not a big surprise we only have one championship.

Personally, I'll feel a bit of dread and deja vu if we get the #1 pick. I was so excited for Oden, and the whole ordeal was scarring. It'd break me if something happened like that for us with Wembenyama. I mean, we have to take him. But for the first 5 seasons I'd just be waiting for the hammer to fall.

being into the position to have dread is a nice place to be.
 
Just want to make sure I understand correctly.

Are you guys saying that Wemby will be our Judge Dread?
 
Good fucking grief this has degenerated. Tuesday will tell all or at least it will tell us if we do or don't get Wemby...

I'll watch the lottery show...it will be a half hour right?

but after the 10th pick is announced, I will sink into depressed resignation prior to every announced pick, certain the Blazers will be fucked, again

it will be like visiting the proctologist. Of course, if it turns out a top-4 pick it will be like the proctologist is Jessica Alba

2005 #6 was initially #3 so I'd consider that top5.

Blazers have always settled for being a first round fodder middling talent roster this century. Instead of trying to rebuild, thus the lack of high lottery picks.

Yeah now Blazers fans are dreading if we get Wemby how it might fail.

Sure even Wemby might not win a title or become a superstar, but I'd love those times as we had in 2000s or briefly with Oden over the certainty of irrelevancy we've had since.

Maybe it doesn't work out, but maybe it does. That would be something to watch with excitement. These other years have been watching a guaranteed show of nothing.

You really want Jessica Alba looking for polyps in your asshole?
 
Last one:

6-3-7-2-4-5-3-8-6-1-4

That's my first time getting a 5.
