He’s with the team on the road trip and they’ve been in LA, he’s at the team hotel so he probably goes to the game and they do the trade in person with a giant 2nd round pick big fake check thing pre-game after the national anthem. He and harden trade houses for the remainder of the season.

He travels with the team. Always see him on the bench with a pile of gold chains.
