So, if one of the picks is pushed the '29 pick would move to a second round pick or something like that. Not saying it impacts the fantasy trade talk, but just an FYI.That’s why I didn’t protect the 27 and then protected the 29. My understanding of the 2 picks the Lakers have available are the 27 and 29 (citing Lakers fans telling me on other websites). The Pelicans have the choice of the Lakers 24 or 25 FRP it’s not really so much a protection as it is a guarantee that either the 24 or 25 FRP will be conveyed to the Pelicans. That’s why the 27 is the first pick that can be traded.
