If there is something you can gain from a trade for those picks, that can’t be the mentality though, especially when you’re getting back what I proposed while adding the picks.
Assets can be collected in more ways than just through the draft also. Contracts like Satoransky’s is an asset because he is reasonably paid (maybe even underpaid) for what he brings to a team. That’s an asset. A contract like OPJ’s that is gonna be expiring next year is an asset.
If Giannis is the goal, you have to get him to say yes first, then you can figure out the many different avenues to make it happen. Getting as far as possible in the playoffs is a better way of getting a player of Giannis caliber to say yes than having assets that don’t (or at least most likely don’t) see the court.
