 If the trade went down you have to use all the picks where they are. No trading picks.

 2015

 #16 Bobby Portis
 #28 Kevon Looney


 2016

 #16 Caris Levert
 #23 Ante Zizic Stashed
 #31 Zubac
 #35 Kay Felder

 Kemba/ Felder
 Lamb/ Levert
 Batum/ Gilchrist
 Portis/M Williams/Looney
 Hibbert/Zeller/Zubac

 With Zizic coming in a year hard to imagine a team like that isn't going to be better than Whatever Frank brings.

 Big mistake Jordan.

According to Zach Lowe this was the trade:

"The Celtics offered four first-round picks for the chance to move up from no. 16 to no. 9: that 16th pick, no. 15 (acquired in a prearranged contingency deal with the Hawks), one unprotected future Brooklyn pick, and a future first-rounder from either the Grizzlies or Timberwolves, per sources familiar with the talks."

It is likely the Brooklyn pick was the 2018 pick and thus hasn't turned over yet, same with the Grizzlies or TWolves pick.  He couldn't confirm there were 2nd round picks, but one of those likely would have been the 2015 pick we used on Mickey and the other was probably the other 2015 pick we used on Thornton.

I would guess at least one of the 15/16 Charlotte would have used on Dekker as he strikes me as Jordan type player.  Justin Anderson or Jerian Grant also seem like real possibilities.  There is also no way to know what happens if Winslow goes 9.  What does Miami do, do they take Turner, Kaminsky or someone else?  Would have been interesting to see how the draft shook out.  I mean I could certainly envision a scenario where Kaminsky drops a bit and Charlotte is still able to draft him (like maybe packaging 15 and 16 to move up to 12 or something like that). 
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

 Forget Zach Lowe's rumor. Stick with this script.

 Possibly players to draft.

 #16 Justin Anderson, Rozier, Hollis Jefferson, Portis,

 #28 Hunter, Looney, Harzell

 2016 #16 Yabusele, Ellenson,Beasley, Levert, Baldwin

 #23 Zizic, Brice Johnson,Skal, Luwau, Korkamaz, Dejounte Murray,

 #31 Deyonta Davis, Zubac, Tyler Ulis,

 #35 Brogdon, Diamond Stone, Kay Felder, Jackson,


 Some really good prospects available at picks #16 and #23 this year lots of ways to build a team.

 Ainge is not that stupid to Offer any Nets pick to move up 7 spots to #9, and an additional three firsts, plus two seconds.

 If anyone believes that call me about a bridge for sale.
