More context from [Jon Hamm](https://twitter.com/jonmhamm/status/1682409714779410432?s=46&t=Jp46n6K9dJePGT6DcRc9IA):
“this all hinges on a first round pick that Denver owes Orlando in 2025, which is protected 1-5 thru 2027. Assuming the Nuggets don’t suddenly sink to the bottom of the league, they should send a first to ORL in 2025, a first to OKC in 2027, and then a first to OKC in 2029.”
Updated to include details on the 2029 first round pick that Denver owes OKC (protected 1-5 in both 2029 and 2030, else converts into a 2030 second round pick). https://t.co/BiO4O4dOTG

God it’s nice having the best GM in basketball run your favorite team
Denver will still likely be good but a lot can happen in 7 years so who knows
Middle schoolers all around the Country are hyped that they may end up being drafted by the Thunder with this pick.
My god…we’re going to have a complete team if the current iteration doesn’t work. It’s insane to think about.
Could someone explain to me why we made the trade in the first place? I am sure it’s obvious, but trading 2 seconds and our own first next year for a 2029 first just doesn’t make sense to me, I guess it’s just a gamble that they’ll be trash in 6 years?
