> League sources told Yahoo Sports contrary to popular belief, Morey isn’t stuck on receiving Clippers guard Terance Mann back in a Harden deal, but is coveting future first-round draft picks with the so-called “Seven Year Rule” in effect.
> The Clippers’ first-round picks for the next few years are owed to Oklahoma City outright or subject to a swap due to the Paul George deal in 2019, but the Clippers own their picks in 2027 and ’28.
> Morey is believed to want those more than the productivity of Mann — who’s on an affordable number the next two years ($10.5 million in ’23-24, $11.4 million in ’24-25).

I would do it. Could always get first round picks back in a trade down the road if this team dont work out. But thats only if morey wants those picks. We have enough youth to develop already. Picks, norman, and marcus. Balls in your court morey
Ahhh. A pick is productive huh? Still not getting it.
Lmfao. This dude really thinks he’s getting a first round pick for a year of fat old harden?
Maybe if he believes in it hard enough, it will come true 🤷
At MOST I would give one, but not both. And again, Morey has like zero leverage here if all he has to offer is one guaranteed year of fat, toxic Harden.
Only way harden gets to clippers is via buyout at this point
Way I see it, get Harden and the team has a better chance to win the title, if he doesn’t join, next season is a moot point and Nuggets repeat
If we want it done before the season starts I bet it’ll be one pick lightly protected/unprotected and the other one heavily protected.
