Stockpile picks

[scott]

The key here and why it’s important is because if you want to cash in on a disgruntled star via trade, you absolutely want to keep control of your OWN picks in the process. So if you do the work now and stockpile other picks, you can still make those trades for a star AND control your own destiny as a back up plan and/or to keep adding to team via rookie scale deals.

It’s absolutely critical to have control over your own picks whether rebuilding or building a contender

What’s nice about having unprotected FRPs from ATL in 2025 and 2027, is we could trade the worse of ours and ATL’s and have effectively what you are talking about while still basically trading out a pick that is valuable (since it’s not protected and could still be as high as 2)

Yup. Spurs have done so well here having all their own firsts and so many extra/swaps. They should add more this year if they can with their cap space.
