If they don't get the 2024 FRP, they could agree behind closed door that the team is drafting for Mavs and then actually trade the rookie in July. But I don't think these kind of moves ever happen.
Edit: are you sure that OKC deal with Bertans wasn't finalized until July? Because that would also mean, that on draft night, Sacramento was sending Holmes into TE that was not there yet until July. What if the OKC-Mavs deal would go sour for whatever reason? If teams are ok doing such deals, that opens up a lot of possibilities
Yes, it was completed July 6th. OKC didn’t have cap room to take Bertans until the new season. It would be exactly the same as the Utah idea except the picks are in different drafts. Since the trade wouldn’t be final until after the draft, there wouldn’t be any restriction on trading the 2025 pick.
