Sure it can. It’s an asset that can be moved. The receiving team would have to have something to protect them from the player “changing their mind” but a team wanting to trade for either player can include the 2023 pick if they so desire. If it’s for a 2024 1st, the price goes up dramatically IMO. 2024 is a middling to poor draft pool and you’re giving the team that acquires either player a chance to overperform and drive the value of the pick even lower. Need more coming back then.
