Not the greatest.
I thought the Knicks were absolute morons to trade a lottery pick for 3 guaranteed to be non lottery picks. Imagine how good they’d look with Jaylen Williams or Jalen Duran locked up for 4 more years on a rookie contract.
I don't think those picks are guaranteed to be non lottery picks. I'd bet they'd all end up in the 10-20 range, most likely 10-15. By 2027 its very lucky the pistons will get better and they won't move from bottom 5 to top 10 in the league. The wiz were 10th pick last year.

Look at the protections below. Washington and Detroit picks are all top 1-9 protected. Both those teams are either going to continue to be lottery teams or improve enough to be in the playoffs. And they can always decide to tank at any point to keep the pick. Unless you think Giannis is going to retire in the next two years, there’s zero chance the Bucks pick is lottery. The Knicks had a 12th pick and will basically hope for a lot of luck to get a pick that’s at best 9th (I’m ignoring the Bucks pick in this situation) in a future unknown draft.
Washington's 1st round pick to New York protected for selections 1-14 in 2023, 1-12 in 2024, 1-10 in 2025 and 1-8 in 2026; if Washington has not conveyed a 1st round pick to New York by 2026, then Washington will instead convey its 2026 2nd round pick and 2027 2nd round pick to New York
Detroit's 1st round pick to New York protected for selections 1-18 in 2023, 1-18 in 2024, 1-13 in 2025, 1-11 in 2026 and 1-9 in 2027; if Detroit has not conveyed a 1st round pick to New York by 2027, then Detroit will instead convey its 2027 2nd round pick to New York
Milwaukee's 2025 1st round pick to New Orleans protected for selections 5-30 or to New York protected for selections 1-4 (Milwaukee's obligation to New Orleans or New York will thereafter be extinguished)
