The NBA has seen a surge of blockbuster trades in recent seasons in which teams have sent out an inordinate amount of future first round picks.
Eight teams control 85 first round picks over the next seven years.
The Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City each have 14 incoming picks, while the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks have 11, the New Orleans Pelicans, Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic have nine, and the Houston Rockets have eight.
The Pelicans and Thunder began this league-wide trend with their trades in 2019 of Anthony Davis and Paul George respectively.
