The Celtics have two* second-round picks this year, one from Portland, and the other either from Houston, Dallas, or Miami. Both picks seem to have a lot of variance as to where they end up:
The Houston-Miami-Dallas pick will come from Houston unless it's pick 31-32, in which case it's the lesser of Dallas or Miami. In other words, this pick will either be in the high second-round (33-35) or in the 50s. Currently the pick sits at 53, but Houston is a game away from sending us pick 33. (Notably Houston doesn't control this pick regardless of its record -- if it's pick 31-32 it goes to Indiana).
Meanwhile, Portland is in the middle of the very jumbled group of teams near .500. If the season ended today, it would be a reasonably valuable #43, but Portland is one game from having the 48th pick and one game from the 39th pick.
If you're a GM making a trade with the Celtics next month and are getting one of those picks, which would you ask for? The one that is about 50/50 to be in the early 30s, but is otherwise in the 50s, or the one that will probably wind up in the 40-48 range? I think the Houston pick is more valuable for the upside personally, but it's interesting conundrum (to me at least) for a Tuesday afternoon.
*The Celtics also technically have a pick from Orlando, but it reportedly only conveys if it falls between picks 56-60, which is a near certainty to not occur. It's technically tradable, however.
