We have 2 picks coming to us this year. One probably in the the teens, the other in the 20's. Do we use those to pick up more young players? Should we package them or any of our other players for a higher pick or other players? Or have I jumped the gun, gone insane and rather wait till the official end of the Nets' year (Playoff exit or April !6)?

The nets' pick could be between #7-11, or #15-16, depending on whether they make the playoffs--that's a big gap. Dallas' pick could be anywhere between #22-28--or they could miss the playoffs entirely, in which case the Nets won't get it. They could obviously do different things with #7, #22, and #37 than with #16 and #28 (or #16 and nothing).
netted has it right, we need the mavs to make the playoffs with the 8th seed so we can have there pick, its' lotto protected but anyways, it depends, praying budinger comes out although he'll be a lotto pick. also hoping earl clark comes out, nice backup swingman
Chris Douglas-Roberts Bill Walker maybe... Brandon Rush? plus We pick a highly regarded euro and stash em' abroad?

So if the Mavs miss the playoffs have we forever lost that first round pick, or does it get moved to another year?

Richard Roby comes to mind so does Joey Dorsey especially where we pick them, we could possibly even see Bryce Taylor slip waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down, we have a few picks in rd. 1 this year, I'd love 1 potential starter and 1 decent bench filler at the wing.
My first thought is that since the Nets don't have a pressing need for a big man, that they could stay put and get two really good swingmen where they are. Of course, they might want to use one or both picks to move up or upgrade a position. It's nice to have the flexibility. Of course, there is one 50 win team not making the playoffs, and there's always the chance it will be the Mavs.
I think we should trade up to get a natural scorer like O.J. Mayo. I wouldn't want to trade away our picks for Mike Miller though I would rather keep the youth comming in. Can you imagine where we would be if we didn't sell Kyle Korver for $150,000....

NBADraft.net's prediction for us, Tyler Smith, is playing pretty well in tonight's game against Memphis. Pretty athletic kid..
