If they removed the protections (don't do this), that would bump the pick to 2025. I would think for a S&T, the other team is going to want that pick to come before 2027 and maybe before 2025. You'd probably need to figure out a way to get a FRP from someone else which means sending out Jalen or Maxi. I guess you could add KP to that list of names but that really starts to complicate things.
Since all picks recently traded go up to 2027, so I assume you can include picks until 2028 after the next draft. I think it won´t take a lot of convincing to offer the Knicks a swap of 2023 top 10 protected for 2022 unprotected.
In that case we certainly have the assets to pull off trades for Collins and Lavine, but then we are truly empty with
Doncic/Brunson
Lavine/Richardson
DFS/X
Collins/Bey
Porzingis/X
