How does the new NBA Draft Lottery system affect the value of previously traded picks?

Hey folks, wondering what people's thoughts are regarding [the new draft lottery system](https://www.nba.com/news/nba-board-governors-approve-new-draft-lottery-system) and how it affects previously traded picks.

Full disclosure, I am a Portland fan, so my primary interest is in learning whether it damages the value of the Bucks 2028 and 2030 Swaps and 2029 First (which [CBS called the 15th, 21st and 2nd most valuable draft assets, respectively,](https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/which-traded-first-round-nba-draft-picks-have-most-value-ranking-all-63-as-pelicans-recent-mistake-tops-list/) less than a year ago). However I would also love to hear thoughts on other previously traded picks and the vibe in general for how this changes things.

There doesn't seem to be consensus among Blazer fans, but since this is a sub for 'serious, high quality NBA discussion', maybe we can collectively hash out what this change means for teams who made deals for future assets before the new system was approved.

Thanks, appreciate any and all contributions.
