I would like this trade for all three teams.
Clippers get: Parker, Brogdon, Henson, Trevor Booker (waived), 2018 Sixers first round pick
Clippers trade: Jordan, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Brice Johnson
I'm not even a big fan of Parker and Brogdon, but this is the best year in a long time to tank. The Clippers have a couple G league players who play more than Johnson and trading him opens a roster spot to sign one of them to a team-friendly deal. A lineup of Beverly-Brogdon-Gallinari-Griffin-lottery pick big man with Rivers and Parker off the bench is reasonably competitive next year (health permitting), or they could totally blow it up and trade Griffin as well.
Bucks get: Jordan, Dekker, Furkan Korkmaz
Bucks trade: Parker, Brogdon, Henson, Rashad Vaughn (or equivalent salary filler to Sixers)
Upgrade from Henson and his bad contract to DJ while holding onto Middleton and draft picks. Dekker and Korkmaz are a couple of cheap fliers.
Sixers get: Lou Williams, Brice Johnson, Vaughn/filler
Sixers trade: 2018 first round pick, Trevor Booker, Furkan Korkmaz
Sixers rent Williams for a first rounder is what this one boils down to. Might be a bit of a steep price for a seeming non-contender to pay but the Sixers would look a lot better than their regular season record indicates in the playoffs since Embiid and the rest of the starters would be able to play more and minimize the amount of time negative players like Jerryd Bayless, Luwawu-Cabarot, and Justin Anderson are in the game.
