What Is a “Protected” Pick?
When a pick is “protected,” it means that it cannot be traded if it lands within the pick rights. For example, if Detroit draws the third pick in the draft, they will maintain their pick and it will not be traded— a future pick will be traded instead. However, if Detroit lands at the 16th spot and upward, OKC will take this year’s pick instead.
