After a third-straight miserable season, the Blazers are looking to add some more young talent through the NBA draft.
Earlier today, the Portland Trail Blazers were dealt a slight blow to their hopes of nabbing the top pick in this summer's upcoming NBA draft., the Charlotte Hornets, who sported an identically miserable 21-61 record in the 2023-24 season, won their tiebreaker with Portland in a coin flip. That gives the Hornets a better 13.3% shot at moving up to nab the No. 1 pick in the draft, compared to the Trail Blazers ' 13.2% odds.
reveals that the Warriors also fell in their own coin flip with the Sacramento Kings closer to the bottom of the lottery . The Kings and Warriors both missed the playoffs after falling in the play-in tournament. Sporting 46-36 records, the Kings will now get a slightly better shot at moving into the lottery's top four.
The Trail Blazers could use all the help they could get. The team boasts plenty of intriguing young pieces , but no one has emerged as a clear-cut future All-Star. Maybe they'll find someone in June. But what matters is that they get as many shots at landing a future star, ideally on a rookie-scale contract, as possible.
