Source: Bulls to send No. 2 pick to Blazers
By Chad Ford
ESPN Insider
The Bulls and Blazers have agreed to swap draft picks, a league source told
ESPN.com.
The Bulls will send the No. 2 pick to the Blazers for the No. 4 pick and
Viktor Khryapa. Because the trade was consummated after the 2 p.m. ET trade
moratorium, the trade cannot be announced until after both teams have picked.
The Bulls selected LaMarcus Aldridge for Portland and the Blazers chose the
pick for Chicago -- Tyrus Thomas.
Aldridge is the guy the Blazers wanted all along and had him ranked as the
top player on their board. Blazers fans are going to go crazy when they find
out that Portland passed on Adam Morrison, but I understand the inclination.
Why spend millions of dollars on scouting to have the fans make your
selection? They think Aldridge is the best player on the board and they might
be right.
Thomas has been high on the Bulls board all year. However, their indecision
between Thomas and Aldridge made the Blazers nervous. The trade works out
great for Chicago. They get the guy they wanted and pick up an interesting
asset in Khryapa.
