Also, Golden State can’t even trade their 2025 first unprotected can they? They traded 2024 already.

Couple this with my post above and the package including 26/28/30 firsts and swaps in 25/27/29/31 makes a lot more sense for us.

Great discussion here.
They can. Stepien rule only looks forward not backward.
 
"All the picks" from GSW (No WAS) would be:

25 - super swapped with CLE+MIN
26 - unprotected
27 - super swapped with CLE + MIN + LAL
28 - Unprotected
29 - super swapped with CLE + MIN
30 - Reverse Protected 1-20 (extinguish obligation or convey 31 second)
31 - swap

"All the picks" from GSW (with WAS) would be:

25 - super swapped with CLE+MIN
26 - unprotected
27 - super swapped with CLE + MIN + LAL
28 - Unprotected
29 - super swapped with CLE + MIN
30 - Swap
31 - Unprotected

*WAS is owed something better than GSW 30 top 20 protected.

Nice work. I hadn't worked through this aspect yet.
 
The big counter in the picks vs (super) swaps debate is that picks are liquid capital on the trade market and swaps are prohibitively difficult (if not functionally impossible) to trade.

In either scenario, the Jazz get three picks because I don't think GSW is doing four unprotected picks (unless it's Lauri already R&E-ed at the trade deadline, but only if GSW is good and Lauri is good and healthy).
It is 4 picks because we are taking Wiggins and using assets to give them their 2030 pick back.

Not sure what assets we’d have to give up, but I’d be content to take the protection 1-20 and then turn it into multiple seconds of it doesn’t convey. If it’s one of our underperforming young players to get it done, that would be okay. . . but don’t give up real assets for fake ones. At that point, Jazz wouldn’t need another late 1st round pick - just let Washington have it.
