Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

Also, and I’m not sure this has been said but having eight 1sts in one draft isn’t ideal. Right now we have three in 2023. I’d strongly consider taking New York’s but not Dallas’s and instead get a 2025 1st, 27 and 29 (that’s only three 1sts) with very minimal protections as well as 1-2 pick swaps AND the 2024 2nd from Detroit (should be top 35-37) and Detroit’s 2025 2nd as well. Those are really solid picks that could be almost as good as say a Miami 1st.
You don't keep all the picks. You move them for different drafts and players.

Except we lose leverage. Everyone will know packaging all of them together is impossible and no one wants them all so selling one off essentially becomes selling one off at 70 cents on the dollar.

The upside of 2023 picks is that you can always flip them for future picks. If we end up with a '23 surplus, teams wanting to get into the first round will be happy to trade favorable 2024/2025 picks for whichever ones we don't want to execute.

Timing will always be important. A pick today in this year's draft is worth more than the same quality pick in a draft 3-5 years from now.
