A source close to the Blazers and Greg Oden said Wednesday night, that the team is looking at trading into the top of the lottery for a second draft pick to secure the franchise center's personal point guard, Mike Conley.

Oden and Conley have been together through AAU and high school ball in Indiana and a Final Four season at Ohio State.

After talking with confidants about Portland winning the No. 1 pick, Oden expressed relief that he was going to a smaller market.
