So okc spends how much for that second?

Exactly, Shiller. OKC can probably get a late first at the trade deadline for the cap space needed to take on Harris. Why would they settle for a mid-second?

Thunder are not taking Harris they’re taking Bledsoe if they want to keep Bledsoe it’s up to them but Magic wouldn’t give up any first round picks to unload Harris contract which is expiring they can only give up one or two second round picks that it
Instead of Magic trading Harris they will waive Harris let him go anywhere if teams ask for any first round picks to take him dude he is expiring.

You are looking at it SOLOLY from the Magic perspective. From OKC POV, previous trades have shown that they can get better draft capital than a mid-second. OKC's GM understands this.
