why the clippers do this: clippers give up assets to finally start the rebuild cause they aren't competitive. young dort and sorber are great fits for the team and ihart is salery filler but also high value. also 3 firsts and a boatload of seconds that will help them in the future.

why the thunder do this: the thunder are already so good at d and if they make a trade I don't think it matters that much if they sacrifice a lil d. what they really need is a no 2 scorer cause no one can make up there mind on the thunder and harden does that. add the fact you get a center upgrade and keep a decent amount of picks and the thunder take this in a heartbeat. also there starting 5 would be shai/harden/jdub/chet/zubac with guys like Ajay, Caruso, Wallace, and Wiggins.
