Presti has so many picks that he can't use them all. I would think he uses picks to go from 14 to 7-8 if they target a certain player. He can overpay if needed in that scenario. But he will need to move some picks because he won't have enough room for all of them.
So maybe they package a few picks to target certain draft prospects and then possibly throw a ton of picks at a team with a star who has multiple years left on their contract. That probably won't happen until they have a better core group of players though.
Right now, OKC is listed at picks # 5, # 16 and # 29 for the 2022 draft. Would you trade them any Mavs player for pick 16 or 29?
