According to Ken Berger of CBSSports.com, Kevin Pritchard again has the Blazers in the middle of several discussions ahead of Thursday's draft. The Blazers are "extremely active" in seeking a trade that will land them a pick between 8 and 14.  They currently own the 24th selection.

The Wolves have three picks and new GM David Kahn is positioning the team to move up from the 6th spot to grab Ricky Rubio.  Minnesota could be one of teams in contention to acquire the Wizards' 5th pick.  Washington seems to be the team with a top-8 pick that is most likely to trade out of the lottery.
