ESPN's Chad Ford said in an interactive chat on Tuesday that he believes the Blazers will deal their first-round pick.

Portland has the 24th selection.

"From what I've been told, the Blazers will trade the pick to the highest bidder. They have plenty of young players and would like a little more cap flexibility," Ford wrote in the chat.

RealGM Note: Executive Editor Chris Reina has the Blazers taking DaJuan Summers in his latest mock draft.
