How about we trade them pick swaps every year for a decade and then take all their protected picks from elsewhere. Then they can sell it as only giving up protected picks.

Lol, that would be awesome. We didn’t give up any of our firsts and we only gave up protected firsts!!!

23/24/25/26/27/28/29 pick swaps that we can swap with ours or Minnesota’s picks would be ****ing insane.

Yeah, and I like @NUMBERICA’s super swap idea, but we should leave it open that it would even include the less favorable of any other first rounders we may obtain in the future. Someone get Danny on the phone.

Owning someone’s entire draft for the rest of the decade is one of the most powerful things you can have.

All of this talk of the NUMBER of picks, RJ, Toppin, Grimes, and Quickley should really just be an exercise in extracting exactly that scenario and nothing less.

I will ultimately take back Fournier and Rose for matching with no young players (but sending Gay) to get that outcome.

Running with @infection ’s suggestion…

Super duper swaps* for the next seven years and the four protected picks owed to the Knicks (no unprotected Knicks picks). The price for not taking any unprotected picks outright is Toppin, Grimes, AND Quickley (ammo in an LA deal and to cut the organic growth out from under them, but we keep Toppin). AND they keep RJ!

* language that allows for inclusion of picks yet to be acquired, if even possible

“We didn’t give up any of our own picks gave them a bunch of protected picks we acquired this off-season.”
 
The more I think about the trades the more I think nothing happens until close to Sept 6... once we can aggregate all that salary it can all be executed in one tornado of transactions. They could agree now but there is too much time for some weird **** to happen. Maybe something is announced a day or two before then but I think we still have a full month of rumorzzzzz season.
 
It will be interesting to see which fanbase gets more antsy in the meantime.
