If they want a star and not the #9 pick, then trade for that star using our #9 pick while giving our pick back to us. For example (only for demonstration purposes):
LAC gets: salary ballast players and a bunch of picks with our #9 pick being the best one
NYK gets: Kawhi Leonard
Dal gets: PG13, our 24 pick back
Once again, I reiterate, this is as example, not a real thought out trade. The limit is your imagination though.
