    The thing with most of those picks is they will be out of the lottery ... which means they may lead to rotation players instead of Stars

    Only way they get stars is to bottom out and win the lottery ... Westbrook swapped w CP3 is the direction that I expect

    How will okc bottoming out affect the picks they are getting from the clippers??

    They still have their own picks

    Teq fs was referencing the clippers picks though.

    OKC just acquired another first rounder for Grant. Just a crazy amount of draft capital coming down the pipe for them.

    This trade was actually a shit trade for them. Grant is a good role player on a decent contract. That pick gets lower by sending him to Denver most likely. The chance they get someone as good as grant with this pick is slim to none. This was the owner saying save me money and I don't care who you trade.

    I didn't read it that way. He said they aren't getting stars with the OKC picks, then said the only way to get stars is to bottom out.

    It could have been stated more clearly but I support Teq brevity.

    Zero impact at all ... there’s a reason OKC pushes the picks from Houston so far down the road

    Reading comprehension

    The LAC picks will mostly be back half of the first round picks ... they are assets but really mediocre ones

    OKC is betting on both the Clippers and Rockets bottoming out in 4-6 years ... if they do they will be in great shape

    If they don’t, it’s largely a poo poo platter

    Kawhi signed a 2 year contract with a player option for the third year. The first Clippers pick doesn’t come until 2022. You have no idea where those picks will be.

    Kawhi likely isn’t going anywhere

    He signed that length/term to coincide with PG13 and ensure that the Clippers continually made moves to stay competitive

    Pay attention
