NBA: Thunder land Nique Clifford from Kings for two seconds

Clifford heads to Oklahoma City

The Sacramento Kings are trading Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder, HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto reported on Sunday. The price is two second-round picks, and Sacramento takes back no player in the deal.

Sam Amick of The Athletic added the detail on the picks: the Kings will receive Oklahoma City’s 2028 Utah second-rounder and a 2030 Minnesota second-rounder. Amick noted that both drafts are expected to be very deep, which gives the Kings two extra chances at rotation depth down the line.

What it means

For Sacramento, this is a pure pick play. A player leaves the roster and the return is two future selections rather than immediate help. For Oklahoma City, it is an early-season addition for the price of two second-rounders, both of which the Thunder were holding from other teams.

The report was still fresh on Sunday evening, so the details are as reported by league sources rather than a team announcement.
