When the team moved Rudy Gobert to the Wolves, they fetched unprotected first-round picks in 2023, 2025 and 2027 and a top-five-protected selection in 2029. When they shipped Donovan Mitchell to the Cleveland Cavaliers, they brought back unprotected first-rounders in 2025, 2027 and 2029 and two first-round pick swaps in 2026 and 2028
