With 12 guaranteed contracts, 3 draft picks and a MLE that will likely/hopefully be utilized, Patterson has his work cut out for him.
I would think packaging a trade pick(s) and a roster player for one solid NBA player has to be in the mix. I think whatever trade package occurs is as important as the college player the Blazers draft.
Funny note about today's Oregonian article is they mentioned that there will be no more private workouts at the pre-draft camp. They mentioned that the Blazers had a private workout last year with Paul during the pre-draft camp. Given that I guess it only helps us that private workouts aren't allowed any more.
