2024 has been conveyed conditionally to NY - they get it if it lands 11-30. So you can't trade 11-30.
And if it lands 1-10, it can't be traded due to the Stepien rule, since that would leave a scenario in which in 2 consecutive future drafts (2024 and 2025) the Mavs would possibly be without a FRP. So you can't trade 1-10.
There is one workaround, however (although it's not that useful). You can offer a pick swap for a different FRP in 2024, subject to the condition that Mavs have 1-10. So you can offer pick swap of 1-10 for a diff 2024 FRP, conditioned on having 1-10.
In light of where they are in the standings, that has no trade value. It won't push the needle on a trade to include such a nothing.
I didnt think about it, thanks for the correction, appriciate it a lot! Then in order to "unlock" the 2026 pick the only way is to drop the protection on that NY pick giving them 1 SRP to make it happen.
And I agree with you, I didnt even pretend to consider it a serious trade proposal, it was just for the sake of argument.
