1 Trade the Houston Rockets could make with every other lottery team

#6: Rockets trade third pick for seventh and 14th pick with Blazers

No Jerami Grant this time.

Instead, we've got a quality vs quantity debate. In most drafts, quality wins. The opportunity to land a more highly touted prospect is generally more valuable than taking smaller kicks at the same can.

Scouts may see this draft differently. The top is seen as flat. Some front offices may not have a strong preference between the projected third pick and the projected seventh selection.

If the Rockets are one of those front offices, they should like this deal. They get two lottery picks for the price of a higher one. As for Portland, this is the same as it is with any team - they'll do the deal if they;re in love with a prospect who won't fall to seventh.
