Trade #1

Clippers get: 6th Pick, 41st Pick

Magic get: 12th Pick, 13th Pick, Sam Dekker

In this trade scenario, the Clippers can trade up to number #6 and hopefully have prospects like (Jaren Jackson Jr., Mohamed Bamba, Miles Bridges, Michael Porter Jr. and Trae Young), still on the board to choose from.

The Clippers will also receive a pick in the 2nd round as they currently don’t own any picks in that round. The Magic benefit as they pick back-to-back in the 1st round with picks #12 and #13 and get their shot at two young players they can develop. They also get 6’9 small forward Sam Dekker in the deal who can play some stretch 3/4 behind Jonathan Isaac and Aaron Gordon.
