Most favorable eligible pick under this published swap right
Denver Nuggets 2027 first is excluded from this selection at #3 by its published eligibility protection.
Denver's 2027 first is top-five protected here, so that separate first-round obligation does not convey in 2027 and rolls to 2028.
This resolves Oklahoma City's favorable-pick selection under the published 2027 structure. Denver's separate protected obligation is also reflected, but later-year draft slots are not being guessed.
