Trade #2

Clippers get: 26th Pick, 38th Pick, 39th Pick

76ers get: 12th Pick

With this deal, the Clippers can still hold onto the 13th Pick as well as moving back and receiving 3 more draft assets, with one pick being late in the 1st round.  They also get 2 back-to-back picks in the 2nd Round. The Clips can look to develop these 2 in the G-League.

If you recall last year’s draft, the Clippers purchased the 39th Pick from the Sixers which was point guard Jawun Evans. The Sixers will have the 10th and 12th Pick and look to add on to their young trio of Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz.
