What's new

Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

The Milwaukee pick is actually top-4 protected.

****… that is for sure better than the Cavs offer, even if they were negotiating in bad faith and being dicks.

Oh well, these ****-heads sweating bullets indefinitely is premium value.
 
First, in 2027, as it shows in the screenshot you included, we have both CLE and MIN’s 1st round picks (both unprotected). 2026 is when we have swaps with both. Easiest way to think about it is we will essentially get the highest pick amongst us, CLE and MIN that year. If we do end up swapping picks, that’s all that will happen. The other team will simply just keep their pick that year.
The only negative is that if the pick we owe OKC conveys in 2026, we may have a problem.
 
It wasn't the Knicks protected pick. They offered the MKE pick from what I gather.... which is top 5 protected.
This detail is kind of important and I wish I knew the answer. If it was the MKE pick, then yeah the Cleveland deal was better. If it was a '28 NYK pick, then I think that definitely is better than what we ended up with.
 
If there’s a year we should hope (and strategize?) to convey the pick, it’s 2025.
The pick is top 10 in '24, top 8 in '24, else conveys as 2 seconds. All things equal, we should see about getting it back maybe. Just opens up a tuckfon more flexibility.

How do you do that? If I’m OKC I wouldn’t be reasonable about trading it back.
