I believe having another team's pick would allow us to trade a pick the following year. Since we own the Clippers 2028 pick, we would have to relinquish our 2028 pick to the Nets.
The wording realgm has is:
At least two years after Philadelphia conveys a 1st round pick to Oklahoma City if this pick is conveyed to Oklahoma City in 2025 or 2026, Philadelphia's 1st round pick to Brooklyn protected for selections 1-8 in 2027 and 1-8 in 2028; if Philadelphia has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Brooklyn by 2028, then Philadelphia will instead convey its 2028 2nd round pick to Brooklyn
The "at least two after the OKC pick is conveyed" part makes it seem to me like this pick become a 2nd if we don't convey the OKC pick this year or next.
My understanding is that essentially they traded the 2027 1st to BKN. But since the Sixers could convey a pick in 2025 or 2026 to OKC, they needed that ‘two years after’ language to satisfy the Stepien Rule. If they somehow do not convey a pick to OKC at all, then they will still be on the hook for a 2027 top 8 protected 1st to BKN.
Just to clarify, I was wondering if:
-the Sixers keep their pick in 2025
-the Sixers keep their pick in 2026
-the Sixers lose their pick to OKC in 2027.
How does that affect the Brooklyn pick? Brooklyn pick says to be conveyed in 2027 or 2028, but if OKC gets their 2027 pick, how would they send a pick to Brooklyn?
-Would we be forced to send a pick anyway in 2028 since we currently have ours and LAC?
