From the article:

"After waiting four months after Harden requested a trade to the Clippers (and only the Clippers), the Sixers shipped him and P.J. Tucker to L.A. for... unprotected first-round picks in 2026 and 2028..."

Didn't OKC basically protect the 2026 pick? I thought I read that the 76ers were going to be getting the worst of their three picks that year... while that's technically "unprotected", it seems like it's phrased in a way that indicates the trade was better than it actually was.
