No way we should include (2) 1st rd picks in any trade

Just sitting back and thinking to myself, there is no way we should make a trade and include 2 first rd picks since it would limit our ability in the next 2 years.
The next two years we have ~30 mil coming off the books in both years. But if we want superstars teams are getting expirings and a pick or players. Since the general concensus is we dont have any attractive players we need a pick to make trades. So if we try to get a player and if he is not the sure thing we get stuck again. The trade we make after that will only be expirings and if they want a 1st rd pick it will be 2012 at earliest since you cant trade 1st rd picks in straight years. This will limit our ability.
We can trade our expirings and a pick, but right now it is tough unless we take on bad contracts. But if Hughes keeps playing the way he has his stock will rise again. Right now we are not in the right place and there are only a handful of players I would give up (2)1st rd picks for, and none of them are over 30. I think if we dont get a steal the closest we make a trade is draft night. But thats just me.
