I have a question. Someone recently talked about trading the protected part of our 25 pick (sorry I don't recall who). In other words, if we don't convey the 24 pick to NY (again) we could offer up picks 2-10 in 2025 (for instance) as part of a deal. NY gets our 2025 first if it is 11+. We get it if it is #1 and some new trade partner gets it if it falls 2-10. It is kind of a fake first, but I thought it was a clever idea. But that isn't my question.
My question is about what we have/don't have in terms of second rounders in 2025. Any fake first has to be backed up by something. Here is what it says on Spotrac:
Dallas has Toronto's 2nd in 2025
Boston gets the Dallas 2nd if we have conveyed a first to NY by 2025. Obviously NY gets it if we haven't.
Detroit's first goes to Dallas if Dallas conveys 1st to NY by 2025 or to Boston if Dallas doesn't convey a first to NYK by 2025 (because NY would have gotten the pick going to Boston above).
So, there is a high likelihood we will have two seconds in 2025? I find that interesting. It could be used to trade for something between now and the deadline (maybe instead of or in addition to 2027). It could be used to construct a fake first as I outlined above. Or, more likely, it could be used to put protections on our 2025 pick this summer as we contemplate what to do if we can deal 25, 27 and 31.
