This is an amazing resource Greg. I thought that the 2028 Phoenix 1st round pick swap was more complicated. At least on basketball.realgm.com it lists other stuff.
Thank you! Wizards fans always have questions about the complexities of these picks, so I hope this serves as a resource to better understand it all.
You are correct, and I appreciate you pointing that out. I just updated the graphic and article to reflect the additional complications due to that Milwaukee trade that sent a first-round pick swap to the Wizards. Appreciate the help!
I think it's still not quite this favorable. I believe Brooklyn gets the most favorable of that list, and then the Wizards essentially pick second. But it's super-complicated and contingent; I've stared at the full description in confusion more times than I'd like to admit.
In any case, thanks for the article, and good luck on the new venture!
I think this is correct. If so, we're basically rooting for at least two of BKN, PHX, and POR to be awful, or at least worse than the Wizards. (I'm assuming MIL will be bad and PHI won't be... though I guess if Lebron retires and Embiid breaks down, who knows.)
It's very important to get our rooting plans settled well in advance -- 18 months minimum!
You could very well be correct. Like you said, many of us, myself included, also spent too much time being way too confused by these protections. I wouldn't be shocked if I'm wrong on some of these, so I appreciate the comment. I'll double check on this and see if I need to update the description.

I took a crack at it, but this could definitely be wrong:
WAS gets the best of:
- WAS
- Worse of BKN / PHI / PHX
--- If PHI is top 8: worse of BKN / PHX
- Worse of POR / MIL
