Everyone having Clippers giving up multiple Firsts round picks young players and Terrance Mann in a Harden trade.

1: Harden is expiring 2: Harden wants to be a Clipper 3: Not extension Eligible 4: No Bird Rights 5: Not a guarantee resign

Woj: Clippers aren’t going to trade ANY of their young future assets in a Harden deal.

Zach Lowe via Podcast: Clippers are RELUCTANT to add Powell, Mann or any firsts to a Harden deal.

Reason for Woj’s Tweet: Clippers see Harden as a one year rental and not a guarantee Championship so they aren’t going to trade away their future young players if Kawhi and PG could leave next offseason whether they win a Chip or not. Giving up young players Clippers now won’t have anyone to build with.

Zach Lowe’s Podcast reasoning: as I said about Woj’s tweet Clippers only picture harden as a one year rental and aren’t going to give up player like Powell Mann or any of their Firsts if Harden doesn’t push the needle and guarantee a championship. Plus win or lose Kawhi and PG could just leave than Clippers won’t have any of their Firsts.

The actual trade package that will get Harden.

Sixers Acquire: Powell, Morris, Coffey, Preston, 2028 top 20 protected first

Clippers acquire: Harden

This trade helps both teams in need.

1: Clippers don’t give up a lot for a ONE YEAR RENTAL 2: Sixers add more depth and trade pieces for other players/picks

3: Sixers get help where needed as well

4: no guarantee chip for Clippers and Sixers could get Kawhi next off season if he opts out.

5: Sixers don’t play Korkmaz and he isn’t happy about it and want out so they replace the 3pt shooting in Coffey.

6: Preston helps with the guard depth and the playmaking pass first guards won’t more games than shoot first guards

It’s funny how random people will just go through the comments I made make a comment and run by blocking me. They block me because they know I’m 100% correct on what I’m saying and they are absolutely scared to admit it. People are valuing every Clippers players low. I mean I made comments on Mann and Zubac trades and people told me Clippers can’t get Firsts for them ( which is a lie and we all know that).

Clippers aren’t going to give up Mann future assets and first round picks for someone who doesn’t have a long term deal Siakim and Lillard they will though because Siakim is extension eligible and Lillard is on a multi year deal.

I’m know I’m going to get a lot of hate for posting this but I honestly don’t care. People need to wake up and realize that Clippers might be hungry for a championship but they aren’t desperate they will run it back or trade Morris Covington and Batum away in seperate trades for picks and sign other players to help them win now. Westbrook played well with the Clippers currently built.

Clippers have the leverage on extensions with Kawhi and PG. Both being injury proned they could be like play all 82 games and the playoffs for your 4yr max extension or set a goal for them to reach. They might not play stupid or risky and might play a lot safer.

I wish everyone on this site to have a wonderful day and I hope your teams make moves that will improve their roster and they don’t give up to much for expiring deals or one year rentals.
