The Beard got his wish. Will the Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers get theirs? Tuesday’s high-stakes blockbuster has the potential to boost both sides, but it also has the potential to be a finishing blow for either.

    From the article:

    “After waiting four months after Harden requested a trade to the Clippers (and only the Clippers), the Sixers shipped him and P.J. Tucker to L.A. for… unprotected first-round picks in 2026 and 2028…”

    Didn’t OKC basically protect the 2026 pick? I thought I read that the 76ers were going to be getting the worst of their three picks that year… while that’s technically “unprotected”, it seems like it’s phrased in a way that indicates the trade was better than it actually was.
