Are you suggesting that Pitt would give Miami a 2nd rounder in 2021 if Pitt's first pick was top 15? No. As far as I know there is nothing stupid like that in the CBA. But it's not forbidden either. They can make picks conditional. A lot of this stuff is already considered when the trade is made.
Do you think Miami makes that trade under those conditions? I don't. Which is why those conditions were not made. Miami is expecting a top 15 pick.
Take the Oakland Raiders for example. Don't think the Cooper trade to the Cowboys wasn't in hopes to get a top ten pick. Better them than the Patriots where you'll end up with a 31st or 32nd pick. The Raiders got two 1st rounders for Mack and a first for Cooper. They had to be pretty upset that 2 of those 3 picks ended up in the mid 20s. At the time of the trades they expected top ten picks. Not sure they make the trades if they had to compensate the other team.

I also think you might be misunderstanding me.
Let’s take players and team names out of it.
Let’s say I have a team and you have a team. You want one of my players.
I ask for a first rounder in return. You come back with a counter offer. If draft time comes and that draft pick falls from 13-32 then I get it.
If it falls from 1-12 then you keep it. But I get your second round pick in that draft and in the following draft get a third rounder.
That sort of thing is common in the NBA especially for picks made in the future.
I was asking of it was expressly forbidden in the NFL.
