Can Utah trade the 2023 pick?

30 Apr 2022 22:16:35
If not, send them the next two available 1sts.

Utah does not have two available first because of the 2022 going to Memphis and the 2024 protected to OKC until 2026. Utah can offer a first that is 2 years after the 2024 pick is sent to OKC which can be 2026-2029 once the new season begins and the 2029 picks are available to be traded.

Reroute the pick they get from BKN and send one of theirs.

So you are trying to get these deals done before the lottery so that Indy can actually make the pick with the rerouted pick from Philly via Brooklyn? so let's go through the issues.

Clarkson cannot be traded until he opts into his player option for next year. Those normally occur after the draft and before the new fiscal year.

Since we are doing this in the current fiscal year, Utah will be taking on an additional $2.5 mil in salary on the first trade which would be subject to the luxury tax as Utah is already over the luxury cap.

So do it in the order, that makes it doable. These teams know how to do the things around the edges to get deals done. this general idea is good enough guy.

You are missing the point. Jump all through these hoops, pay more in salary and luxury tax to create a team that is not significantly better than the current team is just dumb.
