These trade only happens if Clippers interests in Harden stands otherwise they could go a different route to acquire another star player in return.
Knicks receive: Powell a great 3 way scorer was ranked one of the top 10 3 way scores last year. Plus can create his own shot which Knicks need and could dish the ball off as well as which the Knicks need. Plus had a pretty good playoff performance and imagine Quickley and Powell destroying the defense with their shot making
Clippers Receive: Fournier, 2024 unprotected first Via NYK. Reason Fournier is an expiring deal plus got no playing time for the Knicks so it would cost the Knicks a little more to off him but receiving Powell in return is a great upgrade for their bench.
Trade 2:
Clippers receive: Koloko, 2029 SRP via Raptors
Raptors receive: BJ Boston
Essentially Raptors get a great 3 way scorer to help bolster their bench and a nice future piece that could possibly help them win now with Siakim.
Trade 3:
Clippers receive: second round pick via Magic
Magic receive: Coffey I have them waiving Houston but they could waive Coffey instead.
Clippers now have more pieces to offer for harden.
Trade 4:
Clippers receive: Harden, Korkmaz (waive Korkmaz)
Sixers receive: Morris, Batum, Covington, Brown, 2024 unprotected Knicks first, 2028 lottery protect first Via Clippers. And 4 seconds
I see it hard to believe Sixers says no to that
