Best 2023 Draft Outcomes

The obvious best outcome is of course the number one pick.

The next best option is landing in the 2 or 3 spot which we could trade to Orlando for their two lottery slots; then the Blazers would have three first round picks to deal in a trade.

If Mikel Bridges is the preferred target the Blazer's might not get a bona fide negotiation until the trade deadline because it might take that long to convince Brooklyn that even with Bridges Brooklyn is not going to have a play-in team let alone a playoff team.

Additionally, the Blazer's would need to control the Orlando selections-in case no deal can be executed.

If the Blazer's maintain there position then Hendricks is the pick best suited to augment the front line.
