Unprotecting the pick does not allow the Warriors to trade 29 and 31. You have to incentivize WAS to give 30 back to GSW.

I worded it wrong, it wouldn’t be taking protections off it would be getting the pick back basically.
Oh that's right....I remember us talking about this before, just couldn't remember how we got to this conclusion.
So... it's either trade him on his current contract or extend him and keep him at least for one more year.

Trade him now if offers are very good
I don’t know why you wouldn’t be able to release protections and this is the first I’ve heard this point you’re making. If you have sources I’d love to learn more.
I’m aware that conveying a pick in 2030 means that 29 and 31 aren’t tradable (which is why I said they could swap those years).
OK, this makes it feel like a trade isn't going to happen, or if it does will be for significantly less than what we are all dreaming of.
It would be better for us to get that pick back altogether instead.
This guy isn’t credible.
Ah, misread your post. You can release the protections, but I was saying it was not useful for 29 and 31. Yeah, we can do swaps in 29 and 31 as it is right now....but I still think it would be more beneficial to buy the 30 pick back from WAS. The cost buy back the pick from WAS is less than the pick that would theoretically be swapped in 29 and 31. You trade one pick to ensure that you get two picks in 29 and 31 versus one pick in each year.
He doesn't have to be credible to have a good point. Why would a team give up a huge package for a player that could leave in free agency next year?
