The Portland Trail Blazers are looking to build an immediate winner around veteran star Damian Lillard. That has Trail Blazers GM Joe Cronin at least open to taking offers for the third pick.
“We’re a team that’s trying to win and trying to maximize Damian’s timeline. This was an important night for us,” Cronin told Yahoo Sports. “Front offices around the league think highly of this draft, so you would think that a lot of teams that were sitting (on stage) tonight will be getting a lot of calls from teams trying to move up and maneuver.”
