2028 Orlando First round pick we now own

[SharpesTriumph]

Has anyone seen confirmation there are no protections on this pick?

It was unprotected when Memphis got it from Orlando last week. Would be great if we received it unprotected.

Yeah I know Orlando has a strong roster and this is likely a late first. But 2028 is quite distant in NBA time - and you never know when theres freak achililes type of injuries, or Orlando gets desperate to get their own unprotected pick back or who knows what situation develops.

So these are all our firsts;

2026 (going to Chicago lottery protected until 2028 else 2nd rounder)
2027
2028 from Orlando
2028 (+Swap with MIL)
2029 (best of MIL/BOS/PDX)
2029 (worst of MIL/BOS/PDX)
2030 (+Swap with MIL)
2031
2032

No idea the status of our 2nd rounder inventory - but today's trade said we acquired 2027 via ATL and 2028 via SAC

Assuming we make the playoffs next year and that 2026 pick goes to Chicago - we would be able to trade these picks next summer;

2027
2028
2029
2029
2031
2033

Pretty big haul to be able to trade away SIX first round picks!

So excited. Is there some fucker from Yemen we can over draft in 2028?

So no confirmation of the protections on this?

Seems this was always confirmed in prior years day of the draft.... But we had Woj back then.
