OKC could trade 12 and a future first and our swap back PLUS if they wanted to. 17 doesn’t have to be in any deal. Of course, I would want it because I like more picks NOW!
They actually do not have that many additional picks anymore, if RealGM is accurate.
2027:
Clippers pick
Spurs protected 17-30 --> immediately turns into 2nd rounders.
2028:
Denver pick protected 6-30 (until 2030) --> converts into a 2nd rounder in 2030.
Mavs swap rights.
That´s it until 2032. Of course they still have their own picks, but in terms of realistic outright additional picks they only have the Clippers pick next year. Maybe Denver/Jokic turns to crap before 2030.
