2026 - we have our pick

2028 - swap with OKC
2029 - to Houston or Brooklyn
2030 - swap with San Antonio
2031 on - we have our picks (for now)
There's a three-year wilderness there - and we'll see about 2030. In any event, 2026 is the most likely to be a good pick, given Kyrie's absence and Cooper's rookiedom.
In any event, I'd say we got lucky in the right draft.
I still think the Luka trade was league-instigated and with the promise of Flagg. But if so, he doesn't receive credit for the dividends.
You forgot we robbed the lakers of the 29 pick in the Luka trade
In all seriousness, looking at the first round picks I really hope they take a wait and see approach and keep their picks. If they can find a way to add a few seconds, that would be great as well.
What I view is we let this play out a little and see the true needs and then use a salary and a pick or two for that final fitting piece. I am viewing a similar type of move that Boston used for Jrue and White as a roadmap. I don't think the current team is the final version, but I am in no hurry to make a move to make a move. Plus, it seems like instead of 6-7 year windows. Teams are really at a 2-3 year windows.
