With swaps they’ll have OKC’s pick in 2025 and 2027 and Philly’s pick in 2029. Those are the only 1sts they will get until 2030, as they owe their 2024 & 2026 1st to OKC, and their 2028 1st to Philly.
To be more complete, in 2027 they get either OKC or Denver in a swap, whichever is the worse pick unless Denver ends up 1-5, in which case OKC can swap with the Clips alone. So it’s even worse than a straight swap with OKC, because if either OKC or Denver end up at the end of the first round, that’s the pick the Clippers get. That was OKC’s part of the James Harden trade.
The Clippers have also traded away all their second round picks through 2029 as well. They get 2 second round picks in 2024, and that’s it.
Yep. And on top of that, due to being a 2nd apron team, the Clippers will also be unable to purchase anymore picks as well, and will only be able to offer free agents minimum contracts in the off-seasons.
OP, it’s impossible for a team to not have a pick until the year 2030, because the Stephien rule requires a team to have picks every other year.
They’re swaps, but Clippers still have picks.
