24 (Ty Jerome) to the Suns and then chose Carsen Edwards at 33.Ĭreating a truly hectic few selections, the Thunder traded No. Philadelphia chose Matisse Thybulle, while the Celtics traded No. Later in the first round, the Celtics traded No. 11 pick in 2019 (Cameron Johnson) and Dario Saric to the Suns for No. Making us relive unfortunate times yet again, the Wolves sent the No. 8, 17 and 35 in a package that included No. 4 pick in this draft (the Lakers’ pick), but sent it to the Hawks for Nos.

One of the biggest, most equally-beneficial trades of recent memory occurred when the Dallas Mavericks moved up to No.

The Jimmy Butler trade that sent him to the Timberwolves did involve picks (No. Without going too far down this rabbit hole, just know that the Celtics could’ve ended up with one of Marvin Bagley III, Luka Dončić, Jaren Jackson, Trae Young, Mo Bamba, etc. If the Los Angeles Lakers’ pick fell in that range, the pick would’ve gone to the Celtics. That first-round pick (in 2018) had the potential to fall between No. 3 pick and a future first that turned out to be Romeo Langford in 2019 (originally was a 2018 pick). 1 overall pick to the 76ers in exchange for the No. To kick things off, we have the famous Philadelphia 76ers- Boston Celtics trade. What a tremendous place to start this piece. Photo by Andy Lyons/Getty Images 2017 NBA Draft (Ah yes, the impossible task of predicting NBA trades. By analyzing past draft day trades, we might be able to get an idea of what it’ll take for teams to move up this year. Moving up in the mid-late first round is still costly, but in both cases the price makes sense considering a Donovan Mitchell-esque selection could happen. Moving up into the lottery is surprisingly expensive, considering the unlikely probability that the pick turns out to be a hit. With the 2022 NBA Draft quickly approaching - and draft trade rumors heating up - I wanted to look back at the last five years and gauge the cost of moving up in the draft.
