The only time I can remember it actually happening was 2002.
Florida traded #1 overall to Columbus for #3 and got the option to swap their respective 1st rounders the following year. That's a pretty big return in reality.
In addition, Florida traded a 3rd rounder and a 4th rounder to Atlanta in exchange for their promise not to pick Bouwmeester #2 overall. Which is not so great... Atlanta chose Lehtonen instead.
