The protections for the 2027 first-round pick the Oklahoma City Thunder acquired from the Denver Nuggets in the JaMychal Green trade have been revealed.
ESPN’s Zach Lowe reported on the most recent episode of his podcast, “The Lowe Post,” that the pick is top-five protected.
UPDATE:
Lowe reports
Top 5 protected in 2027, 2028, and 2029, then converts to 2 2nds.
A couple notes:
To include 2029, must be executed after the draft.
He hypothesizes 2030 2nds, but that's too far out to be legal. My guess is it converts to just one 2029 2nd. https://t.co/GYynmEQRm5 pic.twitter.com/Me5oA2YMxS
