A lot of potential buyers probably already know they are making the playoffs so no lottery danger. You could also lottery protect the pick as well.
I think they'd want more than lottery protection in this draft. And if it doesn't convey immediately they wouldn't be able to trade the 27/28 picks either. To me it's a pretty big commitment for a role player.
