The Portland Trail Blazers have two lottery picks, but they could move up in next month’s NBA Draft.
In a trade idea from Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, the Blazers would send Jerami Grant and the No. 14 overall pick to the Houston Rockets for Dillon Brooks, Tari Eason and the No. 3 overall pick.
Word got around quickly that Houston could try flipping the No. 3 pick for established talent, but finding the right match could be tricky. The Rockets don’t need a point guard or a center, but they do need more three-point volume than someone like Brandon Ingram provides.
