They can trade their own pick, protected to be within 1-20. If it falls outside that range, then ____________ (logically "If it falls outside that range, then you get the GS 2022 1st round pick.") And they can make that trade now, if they wish.
>>> Or, if you want a simpler trade of a GS 1st round pick, they could just trade their own 2022 1st round pick. There is nothing preventing that.
There is nothing within the Stepien rule that would prevent that.
(BTW, the Stepien rule is not "Can’t trade picks in back to back years." That's sorta the idea, but not exactly, and the details often make a difference.)
* I should note that what I'm saying is based on the details of future pick restrictions given at RealGM website. If they are missing something, then I am missing something. But they are always accurate.
