After 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

I'm guessing they're targetting DeMarcus Cousins or Derrick Favors?

Favors is a freakish athlete and basketball player who played for a horrible coach and with terrible guards. I hope the Rockets land him. He'll be the best player coming out of this draft IMO.

Lots of people saying Favors has the highest upside in the draft, just needs 1-2 years to develop.

The dumb**** Laker fan who declared Lebron's supporting cast is arguably the best in the NBA... yes I'm the one on crack. I'd bank a lot of money that you've never watched Derrick Favors play.

Why trade up? Just start telling everyone those players lack ligaments in their knees.

This makes me not want him. If I'm trading up to the 3rd or 4th pick I want a guy who is already shown to be good. Not a good athlete that can maybe turn in to a good player.

Hasheem Thabeet has tremendous athletic ability and might be a dominating defensive center in a couple years.

Until then, he's a waste of a high draft pick. Top picks need to be able to contribute right away.

I bet we stay at 14 and look for Whiteside.

We may move up now though if the rumored list of Bosh desination cities is right.

Maybe, they could also move up and select a valuable trade asset for Money Morey. You never know with that guy!
