I don’t think so.

This is a pretty interesting article ranking the future value of all of the traded FRPs leaguewide.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/ranking-all-56-traded-future-nba-first-round-picks-kevin-durant-kyrie-irving-trades-shake-up-list/

They have 4 of the picks the Nets own in the top 10:

#1 - Phoenix 2029
#3 - Dallas 2029
#5 - Phoenix 2027
#6 - Phoenix 2028

They have the Philly pick at #20 and Phoenix 2025 at #34, and the picks the nets owe to Houston at #50 (2025), #39 (2027), #26 (2024), #21 (2026).

Hey, speaking of which, let's try to answer this question: which team has the best haul of incoming draft picks? The Nets, Thunder, Jazz and Spurs are our candidates. Together, they own 35 of the 56 picks listed here. Here are the rankings of all of the picks each of them hold off of this list:

TEAM PICK RANKINGS
Nets 34, 20, 6, 5, 3, 1

Jazz 51, 49, 38, 35, 29, 28, 22, 19, 13, 12

Thunder 46, 44, 41, 40, 27, 25, 23, 17, 15, 11, 8

Spurs 54, 37, 30, 24, 18, 14, 10, 4

I think people are sleeping on that '25 Suns picks. Maybe everything works out for them, but we've seen first hand how things can blow up sooner than expected.

[ArksNetsSince99]

I think it might be a little too early for this

Sixers already imploding due to Harden/Morey fiasco

PHX is one injury away from imploding as well

Dallas will burn when Kyrie is done with them

yea but that's now, we have none of those picks this year. Those teams can look totally different next season and beyond

Yeah, rebuilding once Embiid leaves. Vegas has us, Knicks and Thunder as possible destinations. Embiid is a UFA in 2026-2027.

As great as Embiid is, I kinda don't want him tbh. I mean if we can sign him in FA then yea sure but giving up assets for him, which will be a whole lot of assets, nah I'm good.

Same.

Marks should hold out for a guy like Doncic, Mitchell, Morant, Garland, or even Zion if we make a huge splashy move.

Embiid is an injury prone clown and a playoff failure.

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

No trade thread on this board.

Want more draft picks?
Ready for a rebuild and tank for a lottery pick?

Wiggins who is not old or injured but is not playing well. He would not be overpaid if he was playing like he did in 2022. And Santos a borderline NBA level guard and 4 unprotected 1st round picks for:


Bridges and DayRon Sharpe. I don’t know anything about Sharpe except that he is big and is putting up good per minute rebounds and blocks. Warriors have 3 undersized centers and mixing a truly big man into that group would make me happy.

Warriors are failing at defense and Bridges could help.

Some of the 4 unprotected 1st round picks would be after Curry, Klay, Draymond and CP3 are retired and could be lottery picks.

Just want to get Curry one more championship to make the Warriors Dynasty equal to the 1980s Laker Dynasty and better than the Spurs dynasty and I am willing to sacrifice the future.

But would Nets fans be willing to postpone their return to being contenders for a better shot at a championship further out in time?

76ers tank Job and draft pick collection got them Embiid but did not get them a championship.

[TheNetsFan]

No interest.

[Netaman]

Another knee operation for embiid. ive knocked the philly pick, but in his age 32/33 season pick #9-20 seems firmly in play.

[vincecarter4pres]

Call me crazy, but I’m feeling like we’re going to wind up with 3 lotto picks next draft.

Knicks and Bucks are going to underachieve and have some injuries and both windup somewhere in the 8th-14th worst record range. Hopefully Milwaukee doesn’t top 4 jump and NYK does.

Ngl, the dream scenario is sneaking into the playoffs as top 6 seed, Knicks pick lotto and jumps top 4, Milwaukee pick winds up like 5-7th. And we stay the course with the rebuild with other people’s picks and add a stud at position of need in a summer or three in free agency.

I thought we only get Milwaukee pick if it's Top 5...

1-4 it goes to NOLA (Jrue trade). 5-30 it goes to Brooklyn.

Nice, even better

[Papi_swav]

OP needs to update the pick situation or make a new thread. So we have our own pick, Knicks, Bucks (5-30) and Suns pick for next years draft so those are the teams we need to watch and hope to lose. Bucks are looking trash so hopefully Giannis don't ask for a trade just yet and they finish as a play in team or lower. Suns are looking strong right now so that pick will probably be 23-30.

I think the Knicks will hit their stride in the middle of the season and finish strong so thats another pick in the 20s. I see us playing tough now and winning games but we'll bottom out eventually and probably end up with the 6-10th worst record. We should start tanking games by January though, we need a top5 pick.
