We only have our own picks in the even years (so super swaps are out), and the more swap rights we have on a single pick, the lower the odds that stacking swaps realize value at all. As it is, it is unlikely we realize any value from the '26 swaps (because they aren't super swaps and there are no other picks to boost value on them anyway). I also don't know if you can create super swap language if the receiving team doesn't already have the extra picks in question.
No one is disagreeing but if you are trading 3 picks and 3 super swaps and 1 regular swap for 4 picks and 3 regular swaps... how much value did you lose elsewhere to get that deal? Does it cost you Podz or Moody? What was the sweetner you sent to Washington. I just don't see it as that much different so I would use those facts to extract other value.
Give Washington the worst of our 4 2025 firsts at that point, it would be worth it to get 2029 and 2031 unprotected.
26/28 are swaps with our pick that we own. We trade Lauri and we definitely are *** in 2026... write it off completely. 2028 maybe swaps. 2026 could be late lotto and we don't swap cuz we are bottom 5... that's an L.
disagree strongly. we are giving up a pick next year so we can get another pick that we can realize the upside of and a swap that has a lot less of a chance of providing value.
It is really cool.
The 2025 swap and 2026 unprotected first could also be looked at as lesser assets as well.
K, but we're back to my point that I don't think GSW trades that, certainly not this offseason (where Lauri would be an expiring contract).
If I can defer a 4th rookie (picked in the late 20's) in one draft to a 2nd rookie (picked anywhere, but probably higher than the '25 pick) in the next draft, I take that in a heartbeat.
