I didn't realize OKC will have at 2 (Hou and LAC) FRPs this year. They also have Philly one, which is protected 1-5 and will more likely than not convert to OKC. They can also get the Utah one, which is protected 1-9 and I guess Utah will do everything in their power to keep it.
A team with limited number of available draft picks could probably trade an unprotected distant FRP for a couple of late FRPs OKC can offer in basically any year. Or perhaps even a distant swap could be traded for their pick in 2026 draft. A whole lot of things would need to get wrong for them not to finish first this season. Basically what Mavs did in Gafford trade
