Derek Bodner: Can confirm @Jeff Zillgitt report that the pick the #sixers are getting is a conditional 1st. No word yet on protections.
More on Ersan Ilyasova Trade?
Jeff Zillgitt: The pick the Thunder are sending the Sixers is a future first-rounder but with multiple protections, I've been told.
Jake Fischer: As @Jeff Zillgitt reports the Sixers receive a protected first rounder, don't be surprised if the Sixers waive Ersan Ilyasova pretty shortly.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Philadelphia has traded Jerami Grant to OKC, league sources tell @The Vertical.

“Tonight represented an opportunity to build the versatility, depth and skill of our basketball team. Victor, Ersan and Domantas represent the character, work ethic and toughness that we relentlessly pursue with the Thunder. Through the continued emergence and development of our core, we were able to capitalize on the opportunity to acquire three highly skilled professionals,” said Sam Presti. “I want to acknowledge Serge for his contributions to the ongoing legacy of the Thunder. He has been integral to our success and growth, has been a great community member and we wish him only the best.”
“Serge (Ibaka) is a young veteran who brings tremendous athleticism and toughness to our frontcourt. His tireless work ethic and wealth of playoff experience will help enhance our culture and roster. We thank Victor (Oladipo) for all of his contributions both on the court and in the community. We wish him and Ersan (Ilyasova) the best of luck in the future,” said Rob Hennigan.
Adrian Wojnarowski: Orlando will send Victor Oladipo, Ersan Ilyasova and rights to Sabonis to the Thunder, sources said.
Eric Pincus: Interesting but the Magic renounced the rights to Willie Green and Jeremy Richardson to make the Brandon Jennings/Ersan Ilyasova deal. @BBallInsiders
Eric Pincus: I need to verify - but guessing the Magic also renounced their Moe Harkless TPE to get under the cap, along with Richardson/Green @BBallInsiders
Eric Pincus: In theory, if the Magic acquire Ilyasova/Jennings while under cap, either can be packaged in an additional trade with others. If the Magic had acquired Jennings/Ilyasova over the cap - can't re-trade in a package tomorrow - added flexibility? I need to do further research, but that's my interpretation as to why Green and Richardson were renounced. As far as trade math - no reason Magic needed to get under - as Harris for Jennings/Ilyasova is a natural match at $16 mil & $16.2 mil @BBallInsiders
Eric Pincus: If my take is correct, the Magic would be able to package say Brandon Jennings and Channing Frye at $16.5 mil in outgoing salary, if ORL under cap. The only "cost" for ORL to get under the cap would have been the rights to Willie Green, Jeremy Richardson and the remaining Mo Harkless TPE
