Yes. That's the point.
I was kind of imagining the "minimal protections" described was "if you win #1 overall, we'll do something else; otherwise, pay up."
It seemed like that's what you were going for, but frankly, if the end result of this is my team getting bent over, I want them to walk away, not ask for another go. #12, plus (who I can only assume is) Farabee, plus another mid-lotto pick, is already an overpayment for #4 in a draft where there's exactly 1 guy separated from the pack, and you could justify any of a half dozen players at each of the next 12 picks.
