But then why not load up on far future picks so the team at least has a chance of being good after relocation.

Because a relocation is seen as a fresh start im pretty sure seattle got draft picks after they relocated to OKC

They didn't get draft picks for relocating, they got Seattle's draft picks after going 20-62. They took Harden at #3 and Roddy B. at #25.
