@Alex_PorterEnt How does that work financially tho? You can’t just take money in without getting rid of it

A birdie told me that a “possible” convo of the Clippers & OKC trade could “possibly” be discussed
OKC gets:
Clips 5th pick
Clips get:
Lu Dort or Isaiah Hartenstein
(both also a possibility)
Pick 12
Pick 17
Yes it’ll be an overpay. OKC can’t afford to keep Dort, I-Hart, Caruso
English
@mathomp_501 Lowkey if Clips said no to the offers at the deadline I would assume they would say no again unless the offers substantially change. If we trade down we need Yaxel and Mara if there is a path to also trade back up into lottery
English
Been saying this for weeks. Also trading down = Kawhi staying imo
APHoops@APH00PS
The LA Clippers are being described around the league as a team that could trade down from the No. 5 spot for multiple future assets, per @JakeLFischer. "At least one team will call the Clippers with interest in moving up."

@BeniEnigma @DraftExpress Why is this talking point still a thing? Does the NBA really value defense? Steph Curry doesn’t exactly remind me of the Glove

Arkansas' Darius Acuff measured 6'2 barefoot and 186 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'7 wingspan and 8'2.5 standing reach.
In line with past measurements. Not the biggest or longest guard around, but certainly not any kind of deal-breaker.
English
@AMBGotAura Orlando hang up. Only player they moving is Suggs maybe Bane. Don’t see Franz or Banchero being moved yet
English
@Shametfor3 Think its the excitement of a talented young player again haven't had one in a long time. I mean Acuff is very polarizing
English
To the Clippers fans that want Darius Garland traded, why do you want to trade a 26 y/o allstar PG in his prime who just averaged 20/6 on 47/44/86 in less than 30 minutes a game
English
It’s going to be a lot harder to trade Garland than we realize imo. Not very many teams have a big need at PG and stuff the clips would want.
Gary Burnett@GaryBur79821943
@mathomp_501 Acuff is who the Clippers should take and trade DG for more assets
English
@JibbaBones What happens to Garland if we draft him? Moved to Rockets or Wolves?
English
Obviously measurements and testing shouldn't overly skew evaluations. Just another data point. However, that doesn't mean that some guys didn't help themselves today. Here are some of my biggest winners from day 1 of the NBA Combine:
Morez Johnson
Zuby Ejiofor
Bennett Stirtz

@BeniEnigma I’m not mad at it but we’re turning 5 into 8 and 12? Seems like we’d have to throw in an extra asset to make that happen tbh
English
@Kawhidagoat1 Fair enough, just feel it’s only worth keeping 5 if a blue chip PG is there better than Garland
English
@BeniEnigma Wouldn’t be terrible but I like the clippers having that 5th pick honestly
English
@Kawhidagoat1 Ahahah ur alg. Thoughts on Clips trading down to 8 and 23, then up from 23 to 12 and grabbing Mara and Yaxel? To young players to fill arguably our weakest positions?
English
Should the Clippers consider swapping the Pacers 2029 pick for the #12 pick?
(I think they should if Aday Mara is still on the board)
Brett Siegel@BrettSiegelNBA
Early talk surrounding the Thunder (#12 & #17) from rival executives is that Sam Presti and OKC will be looking to move one of these top-20 picks for future draft assets.
English
@Fullcourtpass @chadfordinsider @APH00PS Is he saying trading Giannis to Clippers tho or moving a player they get for Giannis to Clippers?
English
The Milwaukee Bucks “could be eyeing” the LA Clippers’ 5th overall pick as a means to kickstart their rebuild and could use Giannis Antetokounmpo as an asset to acquire the draft selection, per @chadfordinsider
