Aloha,
Taking a closer look at our incoming 1st rounders it is not as daunting as I thought. 2024 is the last year we may not get a pick. But because of a deferment option in 2024 and swap rights. We can’t trade a pick until 2027. So In reality we will have a first round pick every year but one moving forward. That to me makes trading one or both of our tradable picks a little more tolerable. I would tell the Nets we will take Harris but you only get one pick.
If we do agree to trade future picks they should go out with protection, in case we are really bad by then.
With all of the unprotected picks the Nets gave the Rockets and the Hawks and Wolves gave the Spurs and Jazz, the Lakers should not hesitate to give picks with no protection. Kill any pick swaps as they make odd year picks untradeable but picks will have to be unprotected for the deal to go through.
