I have heard that because the Knicks have some other teams’ 1sts, that they can trade picks from consecutive years (can someone confirm if this is true). If so, this draft compensation is exactly what I’d want:
-‘23 1st (probably protected in some way, don’t they have potentially three 1sts? Maybe take the 2nd best of the picks available or something)
-‘24 unprotected
-‘25 swap
-‘26 unprotected
-‘27 swap
-‘28 unprotected
-‘29 swap
-‘30 lightly protected
That is if this is legal. Gives the Jazz the Knicks’ draft, gives the Jazz a guarantee they get a ‘24 pick, throws another ‘23 to the pile (which you can either use to fill out the depleted roster or use to trade up somewhere).
