The Clippers are a truly hilarious franchise. Kawhi, PG, Harden & Russ are all FAs after this season. Here’s what their future 1st round picks look like:
- ‘24 to OKC
- ‘25 swap w/ OKC
- ‘26 to OKC
- ‘27 swap with OKC
- ‘28 to PHI
- ‘29 swap with PHI
They’ve also traded 6 2nds away.
Damn, puts into perspective how much of a “larry o brien or bust” this team is. They don’t have any of their picks till 2029.

Swapping with OKC isn’t really all that bad even though it is true OKC is trending up and LAC is trending down. I still expect LAC to be better in 25. They will most likely re-sign at least 3 of those guys. I think they’ll re-sign all 4. Even if you assume that 3 of the 4 will miss 20-30 games a season I still think they’re fine.
If they click and get hot at the right moment they can absolutely win the championship. And I think that is worth the risk. If they build a new arena and win the chip this guy is going to make like a billion dollars overnight
Yeah, but Philly gets the worst out of the OKC, LAC or HOU picks. They don’t get to pick which one they get.
