A lot of discussion is focusing on Danny trading picks - usually to move up - in this draft. There's a lot of speculation about what it'd take to move up, etc., so I've put together a brief recent history of such trades, to give context on (a) what it takes to move, and (b) how these trades play out.
I'm trying to look only at trades of pick-for-pick(s), maybe with filler - rather than trades where a decent player moved one way or the other.
I'm also ignoring for the most part trades involving only 2nd rounders.
2014:
#11 (McDermott) for #16 (Nurkic), #19 (G. Harris) and 2015 2nd rounder
#10 (Payton) for #12 (Saric), future 1st, future 2nd
#24 (Napier) for #26 (Hairston), #55, future 2nd
2013:
#9 (Burke) for #14 (Muhammad), #21 (Dieng)
#13 (Olynyk) for #16 (Noguiera), 2 future 2nds
#16 (Nogueira) for #18 (Larkin), #44 (Muscala)
#27 (Gobert) for #46 (Green), cash
#26 (Roberson) for #29 (Goodwin), cash
2012:
#17 (Zeller) for #24 (Cunningham), #33 (James) and #34 (Crowder)
#12 (Lamb) for #14 (Henson), 2nd rounder (other players involved)
2011:
#25 (Brooks) for #27 (JJJ) and 2nd rounder
#23 (Mirotic) for #28 (Cole) and 2nd rounder
2010:
#18 (Bledsoe) for #32 (Pittman) and Daequan Cook
#27 (Crawford) and cash for #24 (D. Jones)
#23 (Booker) and #56 (Ndiaye) for #30 (L. Hayward) and #35 (Bjelica)
2009:
#24 (Mullens) for #25 (Beaubois) and 2nd rounder
Before then I'm being a bit pickier and focusing only on the "marquee" deals involving valuable picks rather than late first rounders.
2008:
#3 (Mayo) plus players for #5 (Love) and players
#11 (Bayless) and filler for #13 (Rush)
2006:
#2 (Aldridge) and filler for #4 (T. Thomas) and filler
#13 (Sefolosha) for #16 (Carney) and future 2nd
I'll stop there. I have my own thoughts on "lessons" from these trades, but I'll hold off until others weigh in.
