• 2027 unprotected San Antonio 1st
• 2031 unprotected Minnesota 1st
• 2025 top-14 protected Charlotte 1st (will convey into 2026 and 2027 CHA 2nds)

With Luka Dončić being acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers, two of the Golden State Warriors’ division rivals have set themselves up for the future (in the Lakers’ case) and the present (in the Kings’ case).

Speaking of the Warriors: per Marc Stein in his Substack newsletter, the Warriors were deep in talks with the Bulls about acquiring both LaVine and Nikola Vučević. However, the Warriors ultimately decided to “focus on other trade pursuits.”
