This franchise, which has drafted well the last few years, has multiple picks every year in the 1st round until 2028. The next few years should be a great run, right? Right?

Well hopefully we are good enough, to not need to draft high…and can use those picks to manoeuvre.

Not true at all.
We have the Lakers first to use this year or next year.
We have the Bucks first in 2027.
Those are the only firsts we have outside of our own, which we have all of.

It should be noted that whatever year we choose the outright Lakers' pck, we get a pick swap the other year. So if we take the pick in 2025, we can swap in 24, and vice versa.

A pick swap is not an extra first round pick.
The bucks 25 first is top 3 protected, so unless Giannis and Lillard have season ending injuries, and they win the lottery, we’ll never see that pick.

Do you have a link for this? Not saying you’re wrong, but I can’t seem to find confirmation on that swap option. If it’s accurate, that would be awesome because I think we will be a few picks above the Lakers this year.
