“Breaking News: The Atlanta Hawks Secure 1st Overall Pick in 2024 NBA Draft!

Every NBA draft sparks a whirlwind of emotions for franchises, from hope to speculation. The journey to the top pick can be unpredictable, as seen with the Golden State Warriors’ original 2024 first-round selection.

Starting its journey on the West Coast, the pick embarked on a four-year stint in the South before briefly touching down on the East Coast. Finally, it found its destination in the Pacific Northwest, landing with the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 14 overall after Sunday’s NBA draft lottery.

This pick was top-four protected, with only a slim 0.7-percent chance of reverting to the Warriors. Let’s rewind to the summer of 2019 to trace the convoluted path of the No. 14 pick.

Following a sign-and-trade deal between the Warriors and the Nets, which saw D’Angelo Russell joining Golden State and Kevin Durant heading to Brooklyn, then-GM Bob Myers sent Andre Iguodala to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of a salary dump. Alongside Iguodala went the Warriors’ 2024 first-round pick, initially top-four protected but with future conditions attached.

Thus began the pick’s journey, settling into the Memphis scene for four years before an unexpected move. Swapping Memphis BBQ for clam chowder and lobster rolls, the pick found itself on the move again, this time to Portland.

Stay tuned for more updates on the evolving landscape of the NBA draft!”
