Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

I hear you, BUT does it have to be straight up???
Nah man we just need to leverage a pick swap against the San Antonio or OKC pick swaps we have outstanding.

For me, yes. In that specific version of the idea, at least. 

I get that The GS draft position is the biggest prize, but I ALSO want as much draft capital as I can get, even the less valuable ones matter to me. 

In a version that cleans a bigger, long term deal off the books I could be talked into a swap, maybe. 

At the end of the day, I just have the sense that GS has already decided not to jeopardize those picks for any reason at all. They've faced public criticism for not using them to improve the team for the past few years and never budge. They've had much better opportunities to use them on actual good, difference making players and not pulled the trigger, so I doubt changing Porzingis into something usable in the short term is going to see very enticing to them, personally. I think it's more likely they just look at Steph and say "sorry, my guy - we tried."
