The top five rankings of multiple first round picks: Duha ranked first and fifth, and George’s trade was a bit embarrassing!

The first offseason trade happened. The Magic used five first round picks + Pope + Anthony to get Bain from the Grizzlies. This operation shocked the entire league. It is undeniable that Bain can fill the Magic's shortcomings in the outside shooting and share the pressure of Ban Kairo on the organizational end. However, he, who has never scored into the All-Star, is it really worth such high chips?

In fact, many teams adhere to the principle of "not choosing the best one, as long as the most suitable one". Let's take a look at the cases in which the top five have used multiple first-round picks to exchange in history:

Durant joined the Suns (2023)

The transactions are as follows:

In order to get Durant, the Suns gave Bridges + Cameron Johnson + four first-round picks

The first year after the transaction was reached, the combination of Durant + Booker led the Suns to eliminate the Clippers in the playoffs and fought with the Nuggets for six hard battles in the second round. The subsequent 23-24 season encountered the first round game, and did not even make the playoffs in the 24-25 season. After this deal, the Nets stockpiled enough chips to introduce any player, and it depends on how they operate.

Gobert joined the Timberwolves (2022) The transaction is as follows: In order to get Gobert, the Timbert gave the Jazz Beasley + Beverly + four first-round picks + one swap picks

This transaction gave the Timberts a big gate to the inside. Although Gobert's defensive ability declined, he still assisted Edwards to lead the Timberts to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons.

The Jazz are still in the reconstruction team, and the four first-round picks + interchange picks can play a certain role.

Bridges joined the Knicks (2024)

The transaction is as follows: In order to get Bridges (Diopp + second round pick), the Knicks sent Bogdanovic to the Nets + five first round picks + swap picks + one second round pick

. This transaction allowed the Knicks to form an epic "Five Tigers" that not only won the Eastern Conference Finals, but also fought with the Pacers to a tiebreak battle. Although they missed the finals, Bridges provided the Knicks with top defense and enough firepower support.

The Nets are still in the reconstruction period. These five first-round picks + swap picks will definitely allow them to get a team-building core.

George joined the Clippers (2019) The transaction is as follows: In order to get George, the Clippers sent Gallinari + Alexander + five first rounds + two swap signs to the Thunder. This transaction allowed Leonard + George to lead the Clippers to enter the Western Conference Finals in the 20-21 season. Even the Clippers introduced Harden, who had the halo of three-time scoring champion, to be deteriorating. On the other hand, the Thunder team, who sent George away, established the core of the team building. They are currently competing with the Pacers in the finals and have the hope of winning the first championship in the team history. Not only that, the five first-round picks are also valuable assets.

Harden joined the Nets (2021) The transaction is as follows: In order to get Harden, the Nets gave away a total of Allen + Leville + Prince + Kurucz + three first-round picks + four swap picks

After the deal was reached, the Nets formed a three-man group of "Super Musketeers" (Durant + Harden + Irving), but were ruined by injuries. The Rockets, who have won seven first-round picks, now have core players (Green, Shin Kyung).

A few days ago, a famous reporter revealed that this offseason will be very crazy. What other "big fish" do you think will change teams? Say it out in the comment section!
