Things have changed.
NBA first round picks are so much different than NFL due to protections and conveying to second round picks.
The Spurs got De'Aron Fox and they got rid of a bad contract with Zach Collins.
They gave up:
2 not high likelihood to be 1st round picks:
• 2025 pick (Bulls original pick with 1-10 protection and then 1-8). Bulls are tanking and this would probably have been a 2nd round pick anyway.
• 2025 first-round pick (Hornets) This one is protected 1-14 in 2025 and will become 2nd round pick in 2026
2 real first round picks
• 2027 first-round pick (Spurs)
• 2031 first-round pick (Timberwolves)
3 second round picks
• 2025 second-round pick (Bulls)
• 2028 second-round pick (Nuggets)
• 2028 second-round pick (their own back from Bulls)
