No we are sending them one first round pick, and one swap. OKC is sending them one as well. Unclear what we did to get OKC to send a pick but we appear to have kept our own second pick which is what Sixers were asking for because, based on our timeline, Clippers are likely very bad by that later year. The Sixers are getting two first round picks and one swap. That is what they wanted in terms of draft capital. Not sure what you are arguing? That it is technically is coming from OKC doesn't matter. We are facilitating the Sixers getting two first round picks. I mean, "we are sending them" is what you said. We're not. That's what I am arguing. I really want to know what we are sending to OKC for them to be sending that pick. A pick swap? Removing a protection on one of our picks?

Now that is a switch!!! Wonder how you guys will like or dislike Harden now? I still hate his game. I hate how he slows games to a crawl with his foul baiting. But he's undeniably an upgrade.

We're sending OKC a 2028 (I think?) pick swap in exchange for the 2026 pick.

This isn't the lineup Ty Lue will start out with, because I think Ty tries Harden and Westbrook together in the starting lineup. But I think this is the lineup we eventually settle on, unless we make another trade:
PG: Harden SG : PG SF: Kawhi PF: Mann Center: Zu
Backups PG: Westbrook SG: Bones SF: Powell PF: Tucker? Center: Plumlee
Likely it's more of a 9-person lineup with Tucker just as a bench role player for defense on rare happenstance.

James Harden is "ecstatic" to finally be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers, sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
Harden was hoping to fly to Los Angeles as quickly as possible and could attend Tuesday's game when the Clippers host the Orlando Magic.

With Mann and BBJ out, and Bones playing through an injury (his words), we don't really have the spares for RoCo and Batum to be out. Can he maybe wear a Morris suit for Halloween and play some minutes?

I still hate his game. I hate how he slows games to a crawl with his foul baiting. But he's undeniably an upgrade. That’s playoff style basketball. The Nuggets were 20th in free throw rate. They won the championship. The year before that, the Warriors were 23rd in free throw rate. They won the championship. The year before that, the Bucks were 24th in free throw rate. They won the championship. Two years before that, the Raptors were 21st in free throw rate. They won the championship. The year before that, Golden State was 20th in free throw rate. They won the championship. So 5 out of the past 6 championships have been a bottom 11 team in free throw rate. The streak probably continued with those previous Warriors teams too.

Does anyone wish they could have gotten a good starting PF with size, instead?
