Do the new rules around the lottery make getting our own pick back from Charlotte more or less attractive? The top 2 protection part currently in place just got a lot better. If Dallas were to finish 10th it still has a nice shot at 1/2. It still likely conveys, but the odds improved a bunch. Does it make sense to give up something now to give yourself a better shot at 3-14 under these new rules? In a loaded draft, sure. In the 2027 draft?
We are thinking too linear. Move down and we get these picks. Or, it takes these picks to move up. When we traded with OKC, there was salary involved (Bertans). We have a TPE, so value doesn't have to be derived solely from pick equity. That might apply whether moving up or moving down.
