Would you Trade the 6th Pick in the 2007 NBA Draft for the 35th Pick?

1 Greg Oden C United States Portland Trail Blazers Ohio State Fr.
2 Kevin Durant F United States Seattle SuperSonics Texas Fr.
3 Al Horford F/C Dominican Republic Atlanta Hawks Florida Jr.
4 Mike Conley, Jr. G United States Memphis Grizzlies Ohio State Fr.
5 Jeff Green F United States Boston Celtics (traded to Seattle)[a] Georgetown Jr.
6 Yi Jianlian F Milwaukee Bucks Guangdong Southern Tigers (China) 1987
7 Corey Brewer F United States Minnesota Timberwolves Florida Jr.

31 Carl Landry F Seattle SuperSonics (traded to Houston)[f] Purdue Sr.
32 Gabe Pruitt G Boston Celtics USC Jr.
33 Marcus Williams F San Antonio Spurs (from Milwaukee)[t] Arizona So.
34 Nick Fazekas F Dallas Mavericks (from Atlanta)[u] Nevada Sr.
35 Glen Davis F Seattle SuperSonics (traded to Boston)[a] LSU Jr.

The more interesting question is whether the Celtics will trade the 35th pick for the 6th pick, now that the star has risen for the 35th pick, while the star has fallen for the 6th pick.

What a difference a couple of years can make in how NBA talent is evaluated.
