And who would you want at 10? Assume that Ayton, Doncic, Jackson, Bamba, Young, Porter, Mikal B, Bagley, and Carter are all gone.
Interesting, and reasonable. Compliments du chef.

But I think any deal would have to take place [or at least agreed upon] on draft night [June 21], not after.
To set the scene:
● FTR, the #11 pick is the Lakers' pick--unless it lands in the top 3, about a 2% chance. If #1 the Sixers will keep it, if #2-3 it conveys to the Celts.
● The Sixers have 6 picks in this draft and can't use 'em all--indeed they're over-Hinkied, just like last year, when they sold off two 2nd-rounders.
● Jarryd Bayless has negative trade value, an albatross--Jarryd Dudley. Bayless is signed for one more year @ $8M.
● If I'm the Sixers: I'm a contender now and can spend some chips for even slight upgrades: Bayless is garbage, and even if Pat Bev only makes the back of the rotation, I have a ton of picks I can't use.
●If I'm the Clippers: I seriously love me some Pat Bev and if I'm "re-tooling" the Clippers, Pat Bev's great D, boundless energy and, I expect, leadership will be a needed shot in the arm.
But we have to be realistic about the value of a 30-yr-old, 10 ppg. 6'0" combo guard [not a true PG] who can walk after this season.
I'm not an NCAA fan and thus not much of a draftnik, but the mock drafts have Mikal and/or Miles Bridges going about #10, and godknowswhat afterwards. There could be a huge difference between #10 and #13.
So if I'm the Sixers, no, I don't offer the swap--at least until the clock is ticking on draft night. I don't risk devaluing my 1st-rounder. What I do offer is the #26 and the 2nd-rounders from the Knicks and Nets that I own. The Sixers have a ton of Euro-stashes already, and with 1st-rounders like Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot and Furkan Korkmaz warming my bench--not to mention Markelle Fultz--I'm ODing on The Process.
If I'm the Clippers, there's no way I can build around Pat Bev at his age, height, and limited skill set, and I may lose him as an UFA next summer regardless of how much love I show him. I gotta bite on the package of 3 longshot draft picks.
In case you were wondering, this Philly Boy is a fan of both teams, though the Clips are my #1.
[And a big pffffffffft to those who say I "devalue" the draft, LOL]
