Last time we traded back for two firsts we got Craig Brakens and QPon.
Gordon Hayward and Paul George went the two picks before ours, Aldrich.


This is not the whole story. We didn't just trade 11 for 2 picks in the 20s, we traded 11 to dump $6ish million worth of MoPete because Shinn needed money to keep the lights on. Had money not been a motivation, the team reportedly had the most interest in Patrick Patterson.

I was giving the example more to show that trading back even to get two firsts was pretty worthless and it's not something we should be doing.

If we trade the pick, we better get a somewhat proven player and a later first.
