Extending Pickens

If he's not gonna get an offer from another team, why should we overpay? This is why I think JSN's contract is irrelevant vis-à-vis Pickens.

 
This is dumb logic. Holdouts exist. Look at Parsons.
Who's holding out? Not Pickens. There's no indication he won't play under the franchise tag, and I doubt his agent wants a repeat of what happened last year.

His agent might, highest paid defender or whatever.

But I don't think Pickens wants any of it.
 


So we ain’t gonna trade him during the draft at least.


Technically you could potentially do it after day one of the draft. But yeah, that trade is only happening if Pickens has a deal done with the new team. Otherwise Pickens isn't signing the franchise tag to allow it to happen. And that sort of thing isn't going to happen in the matter of minutes.
