Read the Description in the previous trade mentioned up top to see how this trade flourished.

For those who didn’t look at last trade it went like this

Clippers Acquired: Nick Richards, Cody Martin, JT Thor and 2027 unprotected first

Hornets Acquired: Zubac and Coffey ( I explained in previous trade why both teams did the trade)

Sixers: wanted pieces in return for Harden so they could get another star player or a star player.

Acquired: Powell Morris Batum Preston 2027 unprotected first via Hornets 2028 lottery protected first via Clippers

Clippers received: Harden Korkmaz

Acquired: Fournier and an unprotected 2024 FRP

Knicks received: Morris and Preston (The first was added because Fournier is on a worse deal and completely fell out of rotation)

Acquired: Herro and Martin

Heat received: Harris Sixers 2024 first and Clippers 2028 protected first

Sixers essentially turns Harden and Korkmaz into Herro, Fournier, Powell, Batum, Martin and 2 firsts

They could package Hornets First and their own 2029 or 2030 first with herro and expiring Batum for a possible star like Lavine or Siakim or whoever else you guys could think could be on the trade block. Maybe a cheaper option is Herro and Hornets first for Derozan. So now they turned what the Clippers gave them into better pieces for a star trade which is what Morey should think of doing rather than going straight for a star. Plenty of off-season left for trades like these.

Starter: Maxey Fournier/?, Martin/?, ?, Embid

Bench: Bev, Melton, Tucker, Batum, Bamba

Plus this puts the Sixers in the running for Woods having an open starting PF spot for him they trade Herro and Batum with 2 first for Lavine or they could just trade Herro and a first for Derozan and sign Woods to be the PF. I forgot to mention they still have Tucker and House that they could trade away as well. For essentially more picks

The ? Are place holders for star players like Lavine Derozan Siakim etc. Herro isn’t in the lineup because he’s traded away for a star.

Clippers: they got their piece in Harden by sacrificing Zubac. With the trade of Zubac and Coffey to the Hornets for Martin, Thor, Richards and a first they got the first the needed to send unprotected to the Sixers while they were able to slap a lottery protection on their own.

Acquired: Harden and Korkmaz

Sixers received: Powell Morris Batum Preston 2027 First via CHA and a 2028 lottery protected first via LAC

Starters: Harden Martin PG Kawhi Plumlee

Bench: Westbrook Hyland Mann Martin Jr. Richards

Knicks: they do the trade for 2 expiring deals and to get off of Fournier and his troublesome contract. They had to add a first to do so but they still have plenty to acquire a star if needed. Does this make them better I believe so. Morris played great for them when he played for them before which got them a swapped first round pick. Morris at this juncture would come off the bench and be a nice complimentary piece next to Hartenstein. Preston is there just to make the money work for the Fournier contract but he’s a great playmaker and if got the opportunity he could avaerage a 10/10 a game.

Acquired: Morris and Preston

Sixers received: Fournier and an unprotected 2024 first

Starters: Brunson, Hart, Barret, Randle, Robinson

Bench: McBride, Grimes, Divencenzo, Morris, Hartenstein

Heats: are looking to try and get firsts back for Herro and Martin in this case they get help at the PF and 2 firsts. For a Lillard trade.

Acquired: Harris 2024 Soxers first 2028 lottery protected first via LAC

Sixers received: Herro and Martin

Acquired: Damian Lillard

Blazers received: Lowry Robinson Jovic Jaquez Jr. Highsmith 2027 first via heats 2029 first via heats 2024 first via Sixers 2028 lottery protected first via clippers.

They get their man in Lillard and are able to keep Harris as well. Harris is on an expiring deal essentially worth a max contract that would be cleared for Heats. Now they are vet min after both these trades.

Starters: Lillard Richardson Butler Harris Adebyo

Bench: ( Sign Kemba or Ayo on vet min) (Ross or Terrance Davis) ( Barton or Ennis) Love/( Weyen Gabriel) Robinson/Love (Giles or Howard)
