The Blazers have been one of the more prolific teams in recent drafts, but may instead elect to make a trade for another veteran.
"We're trying to make that next step in the playoffs and adding a rookie into an important position on your team, that's always a risk," interim general manager Chad Buchanan said. "Now, long-term, it can be beneficial. But we fell like we're close to being a team that can make a fairly deep run in the playoffs and we want to make sure whatever we're adding is going to help us do that."
Portland's needs are at point guard, power forward and center.
"Activity is picking up," Buchanan. "A lot of it has been us making calls in recent weeks. But I think we've got some interest around the league on a few of our players. They're reaching out to us to see how available they might be."
