Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

We only trade our rights to the pick... it doesn't affect the others.
Our rights to swap the pick... nets got to swap the pick over us...

Like if we are to get the rights to swap pick with the Lakers then Lakers will get the least favorable of the four and we get the second least favorable. Meaning Lakers likely get the Sixers pick, we get the Nets pick and nets get the Lakers pick.
 
That's why I'm asking the "how". We are getting the "least favorable" pick out of the Nets/Rockets/Sixers. If we are able to swap that pick with the Lakers then it certainly would not be the “least favorable” out of the four. What would stop the Nets or Sixers from swapping their pick with us?

Let's say Sixers all of a sudden decide to blow it up now and tank their way to the #1 pick, does that pick go the Rockets or the Nets?
We get the least favorable, probably 76ers pick at 25-30. A swap with the Lakers is unrelated to the trade with Brooklyn, we'll get that pick regardless. If it's worse (very likely) than the Pelicans pick (or Lakers pick, if Pelicans collapse), we swap it with that, if not, we lost out.

The order of things is:
1) Houston can choose to swap picks with Brooklyn (not happening)
1) Pelicans can choose to swap with Lakers
2) We get the worst of 76ers and Brooklyn picks
3) We can choose to swap our pick (from step 2) with whatever the Lakers are stuck with

We get the worse of the Houston Brooklyn Philly pick.... Wherever that lands we can swap that with the worse of the Lakers and NO pick. Us adding a swap doesn't change Philly or Brooklyn's order.
 
I am trying to justify not getting on the treadmill right now since real news might break.

Is this just wishful thinking and I need to stop procrastinating and get my arse on the treadmill OR should I wait?
 
Been trying to find the link to this tweet for like 15min but can't, so y'all stuck with a pic. Sorry
