From ESPN's Chad Ford:

The Portland TrailBlazers agreed to trade the 24th, 56th and worst of their second round picks in 2010 to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday for the 22nd pick in Thursday's NBA draft, according to a league source.

The trade has been agreed to in principle by the two teams. It should be finalized by the league office later today.

This now leaves the Blazers with four total picks in Thursday's draft (22, 33, 38 and 55).

Here's the official release from the team:

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Trail Blazers moved up two spots in the 2009 NBA Draft, acquiring the 22nd overall selection from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for the 24th pick, 56th pick, and a second-round pick in 2010, it was announced today by General Manager Kevin Pritchard.

With Wednesday's transaction, the Trail Blazers now hold the 22nd, 33rd, 38th and 55th overall selections in Thursday's NBA Draft.

The 2010 second-round pick sent to Dallas will be the worse of the two picks Portland currently owns in next year's NBA Draft, which are the team's own selection and Chicago's. The Trail Blazers acquired the Chicago pick in a three-way draft day trade in 2008.

Honestly unless there is a Nic batum type player that goes under the radar who no one really knows about then I would pick him up. But, me personally wants to trade outta this draft...

I have no idea. one thought that I had would be lookin to get Rajon rondo, the Celtics made it clear they are willing to part with him, we would probably have to give up bayless tho.
