"We feel very, very confident that the 15th (pick) will be a solid player and potentially a contributor," Suns Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin said. "The draft is very deep. It's not too terribly heavy after the first two picks. That's a good thing, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You could get a guy at 13 who may have been third on your board or, in our case at 15, who may have been fifth."

Portland has the 13th pick.
Take a look at that link and look at the very next paragraph:
"If we did anything to our picks, it would be to add picks. We're absolutely committed to getting younger and adding depth."
That to me says either Barbosa or Diaw will be most likely gone from the team to grab another 1st round pick and player(s).
