And from what I heard and understand is that a team can't trade 1st round picks in back to back years. Since they traded their 1st round pick of this years draft to us. They can't trade Barnes because he was a first round pick as well.

Trading a player is different than trading a pick. BTW, GS did trade us their first round pick in back to back years. We used last years to trade up for Burke, and we get their pick this year as well. I guess since the trade had gone through, they were able to trade this years pick to us. Don't know for sure why exactly though. Also, Barnes was picked 2 years ago.

Yes. You can trade a player who was drafted previously in the 1st round and it has no bearing on the rule for the present and future picks. In fact, unless the rules were changed under the new deal, you can draft a player, and then turn around and trade the "rights" to that player and the drafting restriction rule no longer applies for that player/year. You're still credited for having made a first-round selection. It's why most trades on draft day are announced AFTER the second team has picked. The teams are then trading the rights to the players and not the actual draft slots. It's a very important distinction (and a little loophole in the law, albeit an important one). I'm sure if a team were to do what Cleveland did 30 years ago (e.g drafting Wiggins and then trading him for Lucas III and Ian Clark), that loophole would be closed.
