If Scoot (Henderson) is available at pick No. 3, how realistic is a trade package for KAT built around Scoot? — @TravLyleCzech
As of right this second, and the emphasis is that things can change very quickly the closer we get to the draft, I don’t see this as very realistic. Interestingly, there seems to be a lot of buzz about Brandon Miller going second to Charlotte, meaning tantalizing point guard prospect Scoot Henderson does have a real chance of being available at No. 3 when Portland is on the clock. If you would’ve asked me a month ago, I would have doubted that was a realistic possibility.
The desire by Wolves fans to land Henderson as the point guard of the future is understandable. What an impressive young player. It’s easy to imagine him playing alongside Anthony Edwards for years.
But in conversations with people connected to the Wolves and around the league, I have not heard any real connection between the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves for that third pick. Our Shams Charania and Will Guillory have reported that New Orleans has interest in moving up that high, and I’m sure there will be more reports of teams chasing that pick.
Tim Connelly and Chris Finch are both on record saying they believe in their starting five and want to see it get a chance to play together next season. Trades are hard to pull off in the NBA, so most do not happen. If the Blazers do make No. 3 available and Henderson is there, they will have several strong offers coming their way. Right now, I’d be surprised if a KAT-Scoot swap is what transpires.

理解球迷脑补爱德华兹跟亨德森一起打球的想法、但是目前没听到这方面的消息。康贼跟大师都力挺这个阵容继续打。
亨德森要是落到3#会引发哄抢、但这个球队不会是狼。
