Thinking about it, I’m wondering if Philly really wanted an extra pick instead of a pick swap in 2027 because then they have two picks, not one. But they seem to have gotten a really lousy pick because it’s the worst of three team’s first rounders. Personally, I think the opportunity to pick swap with Clippers is likely to result in a much higher overall pick than either of the two they have now.

Further trade details: The Clippers are sending a 2027 first-round pick swap to Oklahoma City, clearing way for OKC to move a protected 2026 first-round pick to the 76ers, sources said. The Clippers are sending a 2024 and a 2029 second-round pick to the Sixers in the deal too, sources said.

This seems to make the trade pretty expensive for the Clippers. They gave up a swap in 2027 and 2029 and traded their 2028 pick so that’s three years in a row they won’t have a good pick or won’t have a pick in the first round And I don’t understand why they didn’t just the pick swap to Philly instead of trading it to OKC (but I am sure there is a reason)

that was great watching KD stand in bewilderment after one of the spurs snatch the ball right from his hands, right by his own basket – and then scored…double ha…

Not to think too far ahead, but tomorrow is actually an important game in terms of seeding tiebreaker…

“@Z-Man: SIms, McBride and Fournier would have started on the 2018-19 New York Knicks team. But you, like many, may not consider that to have been an NBA team. I can name some other versions of the Knicks where they would have started. Alexy Shved anyone? Bargnani?”

Well, I could technically started for an NBA team if I was an owner’s son…

But those guys are not “legit” starters in today’s NBA.

With you, BBA. 6 points on 3-9, although he did have 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks. But outside of being tall, it was a pretty pedestrian showing.

I was really surprised by how bad Mobley looked tonight.
