Very light protection for the pick. So OKC took 8 mil of bad salary and paid #30+2 SRP for lightly protected 2027 pick. Doesn't seem a great deal for Denver anymore.

That means that trade will happen in the window between the draft and free agency. Teams can't trade 2029 picks until after the 2022 draft is done." / Twitter
