They are high value but they also are way far out. Bogey is super under-rated imo. He's 30th in the league in scoring per 36... does so efficiently... and without being ball dominant.I don't think these picks have to be unprotected in my eyes. They can be something like top 3 protected. I don't think Bogey/Conley/Beverly/Clarkson are worth two high value unprotecteds so I don't mind putting some light protections on them as long as the picks rollover
Bev is a great compliment to Lebron and AD as well. JC is a guy they could use to get buckets when Lebron ain't in the game.
The key to getting both picks unprotected is Vando imo. The issue with any protections is the 2029 pick literally can't rollover... its against the CBA. If 2027 pick rolled over you aren't getting the other pick. So I would be okay with having the 2027 pick roll over with top 4 protections... in the case it doesn't convey we get the right to swap the 2028 pick with ours and 2029 becomes completely unprotected. I'm okay with the lightest of protections because with the new odds its really hard to manipulate the standings to get top 3-4.
I would also be cool with taking the 28 pick unprotected and getting swaps in 27/29 with our pick or the Minny picks.
