Top 20 protected and if not conveyed it becomes a 2nd.
The Thunder pick is a first, just a low one. In this draft I'm fine with that. Especially since its ammo that can be used to potentially move up.
I'm sure the Thunder would be VERY interested in their own FRP back plus a very distant FRP for one of their myriad of picks this year. They just don't have the roster spots and the 30th pick salary is the cheapest possible salary you can get in the first round.
Their Philly pick stands out at #18 currently. But truthfully somethings gotta give. They have 12, 18, and 37 in this years draft as it stands.
Wonder if another trade is in the works.
Would Naji/Gaff/BWill/DP for Hartenstein/12/18/37 be a decent deal?
Not sure it would work out salary wise. OKC is looking for cheaper starting caliber center.
