After last Tuesday night's draft lottery, the Nets nabbed the No. 3 pick, while the Timberwolves were granted the No. 4 pick. But according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, there are two teams looking to trade up into those spots: "Houston and Portland are two teams that will be working No. 3 Nets and No. 4 Wolves hard to move up in the draft, league sources say." Both Portland and Houston have some younger chips to trade in an effort to move up, and could be targeting Derrick Favors, DeMarcus Cousins or Wesley Johnson, all guys that project in the 3-5 spots right after John Wall and Evan Turner. But according to Steve Kyler of HOOPSWORLD, the Rockets aren't looking to give up any meaningful assets. He writes: "Word is the Rockets are in the market for a top 10 selection and would pay cash to move up. It is unlikely the Rockets give up meaningful assets to move up but they are in the market." Kyler also adds that Knicks, Bobcats and the Mavericks are "all in the market for additional draft assets." The Grizzlies own three first-round picks, so it's possible the Knicks -- who's first-round pick is owned by the Jazz -- could look to snatch one of them. Source: Woj
