OKC see's Yaxel moving up draft boards to be picked at #11 by the Warriors, and with luxury tax implications of a $211m bill, they move Dort/Wiggins to shed salary for the #10/#12 (Clippers), saving roughly $16m. They also obtain the Clippers #42 from the Nets (not sure why it shows ATL). They draft Yaxel Lendeborg #10, Thomas Haugh #12, Henri Veesaar #38 (2-way), and Sergio de Larrea #42 (2-way). OKC also declines/extends IHart for 4/$100m and extends Cason Wallace for 4/$80m.
