I meant for 2028 to just be a swap. Technically we could trade 2028 though - but it would be conditional on making the 2026 playoffs - which if we're acquiring Brown should be very likely.
Boston is now going to be very interesting this summer... I'd think they want to duck the luxury tax for a year but they need to cut about $40 million of salary to do so! If they can ship off Jrue and Porzingis to a team like Brooklyn for a pick they could duck it. Or if they really want to tank for a pick maybe they explore trading one or more of Brown/White/Pritchard/Hauser. Those guys could get way more picks back in trade. Duck the tax for a few years so the repeater tax resets - bring in some elite prospects - then use those assets to rebuild around Tatum in 2027 if he is able to make a full recovery. Boston owns their picks in 2026+2027 but doesn't in 2028 (Spurs Swap) or 2029 (we own)
11 and their pick back? Boston does a 1 year tank while Tatum is hurt, and hope that Sharpe can duplicate what Brown does for them. Portland pushes in chips to see what Brown can do for them.
I wish people would stop the pick back talk regarding 2029 FRPs. It would be way too messy to renegotiate the previous trade with the Wizards. So either Boston would get the worst of the three or they'd get the best. Same thing if we make a deal with the Bucks. With the Deni trade, the ship pretty much sailed on giving either of those two teams their 2029 FRP back in a deal. With that said, I don't like the trade at all. Two FRPs and Shaedon for Brown just doesn't do it for me. I'm not saying it's an overpay, I just want our team to see this rebuild through.
I think your reading into something RR7 or other posters don't mean. I read his trade idea as meaning we send the best of the 2029 picks to Boston. That guarantees Boston gets their 2029 pick back or better. Unless someone specifically says a trade idea with a 2029 pick involves renegotiating with Washington I'm always going to assume it doesn't.
