Clips acquire James Harden

[Thomas82]

I heard on FOX Sports Radio earlier that Harden has the distinction of being traded more times than any other MVP in league history. If that's true it's definitely not something to be proud of.

The result of this trade is the waiving of Danny Green. Anyone want him as a vet to add to the Spurs young group?

No, 36 years old coming off an acl injury a year and a half ago, I could see Pop bringing him in though.

It hurts cuz it’s true

OKC got involved in the deal, to shuffle some draft picks. Lol. Presti is somethin’ else.

How so?

As part of the Harden deal, in addition to the other stuff, the Clippers agreed to give the 6ers a first-round pick that they’d get from another team. OKC agreed to be that team. OKC will provide the Clips with a 2026 pick to send on to the 6ers.

What OKC gets out of it is a pick swap with the Clippers in 2027. The thinking must be that the Clips will be rebuilding by then, while OKC is on their way to becoming one of the top seeds by then. So a swap like that could potentially move OKC up ten spots in the draft, maybe even more. You never know, but it looks like a good bet, anyway.

(That’s as reported, as I understand it. I don’t know if all of the final details have been nailed down.)

Who's the odd man out for the Clippers? Is Harden taking Bones Hyland's minutes? Trade for his ass. Went to the game on Sunday and that kid was fire. If he starts riding the pine, scoop him up.

Bones Hyland is a flashy selfish that wanted out playing on the eventual champs with Jokic because he wasn't being featured enough. No thanks
