The real winners of this deal: OKC
The Clippers are still not tanking. The 10-30 protection tells me the Pacers will try to win now, cause otherwise they would not need the #10-30 protection.
But the crazy part is that they made it #10. If anything it should be #9.
Kings
Pelicans
Nets
Wizards
Jazz
Mavs
Grizzlies
Bucks
Pacers (9th)
Do they really think they can catch up 10 games to one of Blazers, Hornets or Bulls. They must think the Bulls are now tanking. That´s their only small chance to get to #10 and then either move up by winning or keeping the 2026 pick as #10.
