How many cup wins since lockout have come from teams without 1st or 2nd ov pick? Not many

To that point, there value of first overall picks is easy to see looking a recent cup champions, and on the flip side all we need to do is look North up the highway to see a great example of how it’s also not an automatic unless you build around the pick well.
I actually think BT has built well in his tenure, and as down as I want to be on the team, they aren’t going to be earning a 1st overall pick anytime soon. What would we be willing to part with on this roster to get a first overall if it would even be remotely possible?
