[SixersGalaxy] “The Clippers have spent the last couple weeks talking to teams around the league about their own 2028 unprotected first-round pick… [Teams] expect the Clippers now, very soon, to go back to Philadelphia… and run some of these scenarios by them.” – @wojespn

Norm, Roco, and 2 1sts.
It looks like Daryl wants multiple draft picks and clippers are trying to convert their 2028 picks and pick swaps into multiple first round picks
The most likely team to do that is probably OKC. They have tons of picks coming these next couple years (including our top 8 protected 2025 picks). So, I can see them exchanging multiple of their upcoming picks for clippers 2028 picks
However, OKC also owned Clippers 2024 unprotected first round picks. They want clippers to be as bad as possible this year. So, they have little incentive to help clippers acquiring Harden….
Riveting stuff.
I do think the likelihood of him being traded before the start of the season in two weeks is more and more likely. We’ll see though I guess.
People don’t understand Morey knows that signing MAX Free Agents is such a shot in the dark and very hard to actually sign a good MAX FA…he wants picks becauseeeee trading for a MAX contract is much easier.
The 76ers will have $65+mil in cap space next year and if Morey can pull multiple picks and give us the ability to trade 3+ 1st round picks we could be the leaders for the next disgruntled star next off season.
Maxey+Embiid with $65+ million in cap space and the ability to trade 3 Unprotected 1st could be huge next off season.
Daryl survived all of the attacks
