In my Fake NBA, the Clippers were Hardens team pre-Free Agency. They don’t have enough cap space to re-sign him. This trade allows them to do that and have a better team immediately because they get James Harden back. The clippers also need a solid starting center. By the way, I just want feedback, let me know if it’s stupid or which side gets bad value. Cap is $200 btw.

THE TRADE

Oklahoma City Thunder receive: Jalen Williams, Ron Holland
