Doesn´t matter. Draft picks are useless.
The worst part is that the Thunder will never stop. They have build such a strong war chest they can just roll this over and over. They´ll get a likely (worst case) All-Star to add to their core already.
Mavs could have done this same thing from 2011 to 2020. Every year eaten sh*t contracts for draft picks and I guarantee you they would still have been whooped in the 1st round the same way it actually happened. Only they gave up draft pick after draft pick for Rondo, Odom, Porzingis and signed all those bums like Kaman, Dalembert, Matthews and Jordan with capspace in free agency. Meanwhile the Thunder probably ate Favors contract, got a pick and he still played better than any Mavs center in the post championship Dirkocalypse.
