but . . . the Nets are getting an unprotected 1st rounder in the Irving deal, so 2028 may have some value. That said, I like accumulating out-year picks, even #2s like in the Rui deal. Basically, the Ainge strategy.
What would be the odds of having a healthy Durant, Porzingis, and Beale at the same time?
I think the Nets are trying to use their first round picks to acquire guys to help Durant. Rather than trade him.
