My thinking is if we keep our pick this year that hamstrings what we can do in a trade starting this offseason. We currently can't trade a first round pick from before 2027 because of the Stepien rule until that pick conveys to the Knicks. If that pick does convey we'll all of a sudden be open for business with enough picks to cash our chips in and actually try to get Luka another star
If Mavs keep their pick, they can trade a very high 2023 pick, 2028 and 2030 picks on draft night. Remove protections from 2024, and they could trade 2026, 28 and 30.
