they clear Blake and dont re-sign Lou ...

Not sure how it makes them a FA threat at all. That team is now years away from even making the playoffs; they don't have any interesting prospects at all and it's too late to successfully tank.

just sayong all we heard is they stole Logo from State and kept him from us ...
but now they traded Paul and Blake for spare sports and dont even have a Brooklyn or Lakers pick to show for it ...
And Harris (if true) and Gallo dont make max but make good $ same with Doc's son ...Lou is a steal but is due an extension.
I like Harrell but this seems like a bad move as reported ...
i thought they were ckearing space but by taking on harris ...i dont think they can pull off a double max unless they shed more cap room

[Killakobe81]

oh shit forget about Deandre ..ok he and lou are expiring ...
So again who wants to play with Gallo and Harris? Logo pulls that off he the goat

[Clipper Nation]

The only way this dumbass trade makes sense is if West practically has LeBron's signature on the dotted line. We do have $50 million in cap space this summer now. But if we don't get anyone in free agency, it's one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen.

Unless Clippers plan here is to acquire picks, picks and more picks to try and sign and trade for LeBron and also try and acquire Kevin Love in the offseason and CP3 returns to Clippers. In other words Clippers could be trying to get ready for LeBron to move the Cavs to LA (at least Love in a trade). Sounds ridiculous but who knows. If LeBron leaves Cleveland the Clippers will have plenty of picks to offer Gilbert who would be rebuilding. That could be what they are up to by cleaning house, it's a gamble but if they can't sign LeBron they will be rebuilding anyway.

Broussard reported today just what I said ...
Lakers have more young talent and he would not consider Clips and he heard that from sources close to LeBron post West ...
Lakers are in year one of a new regime we have kuzma ball ingram randle nance and clarkson still very young and show flashes while not having anyone as good or proven as Blake or Lou.
i know it pains you but future is bright ...if we dont blow it all up chasing stars. i wont be mad if we sign PG ...but personally i say wait to see if Klay and kiwi come free ...if not keep acquiring young talent ...i would take either over George ...
and LeBron aint coming ...

[Clipper Nation]

LeBron's not coming here, but still, :lol at believing anything Broussard and his "sources" are reporting. He's never right about anything.

The Lakers' young talent is Kuzma and that's it. They've been tanking for years and he's all they have to show for it. We just started our rebuild today and I'd still rather have Montrezl Harrell and Ty Wallace over anyone on the Lakers besides Kuzma. Maybe with another year of development, you can add Jawun Evans to the list as well.

Whil I love Lonzo, I’m not sure if the Lakers’ future is brighter. The Clippers are in a better position because of draft picks and assets that can net them more potential picks in Lou Williams and DeAndre Jordan. Tobias Harris is better than any Laker right now. He’s young, talented and is under a cap friendly salary.


The biggest difference here IMO is West and Magic. The former believes in rebuilding through young talent while the latter is enamored with the idea of building his around Superstars, regardless of fit and circumstance.

agree on magic that is my concern dreamchasing ..
but Harris?! i like but Kuzma is younger and cheaper ...he will better than him in two years he already does things i havent seen Tobias do from a skillset perspective in year one.
rather have Ingram and ball over anyone on Clips current roster, longterm.

look in the long term smart to be rid of Blake at that salary but you just lost your best player for a bunch of solid spare parts good enough to ensure the tank wont bottom but not good enough for the playoffs...

like i said when he came, West is the logo but its 2018...
he doesnt scare me as much as Balmer's deep pockets do ...but so far none of the picks or players acquired by letting go Paul have done shit except Sweet Lou and yall trading him too ...

so so far ...
west gave up paul/Blake for Harrel, lou, wisconsin kid, avery and pat B plus two non lotto first rounders?! the thievery!!!
Signed Gallo and Blake and drafted Evans and went from playoffs to 9th seed in half a season?!
West is doing God's work sons ...lol.

:lol

[JamStone]

Yup, Bradley had been pretty awful recently after scoring at a really efficient rate earlier on. His problem is that he takes the same types of jumpers during the course of the game regardless if he's on fire or if he's been missing all night. He doesn't adjust his offensive game depending on how his jumper is going. Doesn't mix in drives and slashes or midrange floaters/runners nearly enough when he's off. So from game to game he could be 10-for-15 one night, 6-for-19 the very next night. Wildly inconsistent. I know that's a lot of players, but watching him every game, he really is a guy who doesn't change or adapt to the flow and tenor of the game or his performance. I think he's fine as a secondary scorer (like a 3rd or 4th option) on a good team. But the Pistons were using him as the #1 and/or #2 guy on offense along with Tobias Harris. Tobias also became very jumpshot happy this year because he started the season hitting his threes at well over 40% the first few months. He just started coming back down to earth in January. So while he's capable, he also failed to attack the basket or get into post-ups enough when his shot was not falling. The offense was way too jumpshot heavy, and Bradley and Harris aren't exactly Steph and Durant. So it was bound to come crashing down at some point.

I'm still not sure how I feel about the trade. Blake brings superior production and a big name the Pistons have lacked for a while, probably since Ben Wallace (not comparing the two players, just the value of their names to draw attention and ticket sales). I'm sure the trade was ticket and merchandise driven as much as anything to help put more seats in the new stadium. I'm hoping Blake can play well enough to make the Pistons a legit threat at a chance, just a chance, at an ECF appearance in the next couple seasons. I'm not counting on anything this season. I don't know they'll be a playoff team this year even in a randomly weak East and with the recent injuries to Wall and Love.

Blake's contract and his injuries definitely scare me though. Could be a huge payroll problem as soon as next season if he can't stay healthy.

[Chillen]

I read on realgm that OKC was offered Blake Griffin for Paul George and did not accept. If true that is just stupid on OKC's part as Paul George will probably be headed to Lakers in the offseason, and Griffin is inked for 5 years. Anyway take it with a grain of salt.

Because he was probably told before the season that if he fails to make the playoffs again, he’s gone. So he’s sacrificing the future to secure the 7-8 seed and get swept.

Monroe is a relic of NBA yesteryears.

He's an older, even slower, left handed version of Jahlil Okafor. And that's being generous.

think old Anthony Mason, the one that died a few years back... maybe Oakley, too

You looking at him vs starters. He'll look decent vs scrubs. No?

[Chris Fall]

If Monroe is strictly limited to 8-10 minutes a game against only back-ups, he may come close to offsetting all the uncontested layups and dunks the man he's guarding will get in transition by getting a few putback layups. That's best case scenario. If the guy he guards has any perimeter skills shooting or with dribble drives, all the worse for Monroe. $5 million for him sounds ridiculous even in an inflated NBA financial market.

Monroe makes Kevin Love look like Usain Bolt.

Oakley wouldn’t survive in :lol today’s ultra soft nba. He’d be fouled out in 3 minutes playing his brand of defense.

Mason though will excel. He was ultra strong, got long arms and quick lateral quickness. He can guard players from SG to C. He has great ball handling skills and can great passing vision. His range is not out to three point land but he’s got a decent mid range game (I think he can learn to shoot 3s). He’s a better crazier version of draymond green.

man there was a time when pondexter looked like a nice asset with a good future

robert covington basically became what people were hoping pondexter would be

Never got over this weird knee injury for the Pelicans.

How does Demps still have a job? Giving up their first-round pick makes this another panic move that will just make it even harder for them to build around Davis and Cousins going forward.


Because he was probably told before the season that if he fails to make the playoffs again, he’s gone. So he’s sacrificing the future to secure the 7-8 seed and get swept.

I really liked the trade. The first round pick won't be that high especially compared to a very good player like Mirotic who fits well with this team and is signed thru next season. He doesn't help the Pelicans defensively like Cousins did, but he makes them a much better offensive team. This team will get at least the 6th seed and battle for a top 4 seed in the West. I wasn't even sold on signing Cousins to a 5 year max before his injury since he turns over the ball a ton and consistently settles for a bad shots. Now I wouldn't even consider it with the injury.

Too bad Monroe didn't land here. Not sure if Okafor gets any minutes.

[Clipper Nation]

Mirotic is better than Monroe, tbh, even though the Pelicans gave up way too much for him.

Good or bad move?

[StrengthAndHonor]

Good or bad move?
Considering the Spurs’ draft history, I think they’re better keeping the pick and DG.

[lebomb]

Good or bad move?

Danny knocked down 5-7 3pt shots last night. I personally see it as a lateral or downgrade. The only thing Avery has over Danny is age. Danny defends as well, and is taller.

[Chris Fall]

Avery Bradley isn’t even that good. He hasn’t hit a three pointer in a game going on three weeks now. His shooting has taken a massive dive in recent weeks. And he’s tiny. He’s basically a 6’2 version of Danny Green albeit couple years younger, so not sure why the Spurs would not only trade for him but give up a first in the deal.

[LkrFan]

Good or bad move?
Good move for the Spurs. I think Danny Green's time with Pop has run its course. Avery is from UT I believe so for him to "come home" may be just what he needs. I think Pop can motivate him

Not an earth shattering move, but a good one for San Antonio - if it's consummated of course.

I agree, AB is just massively overrated.

Magic traded Elfrid Payton for a 2nd round pick to Phoenix... seems really cheap.

:lol Holy shit, Doc and Frank are stupid. It's not going to be a lottery pick now that Blake's there.

lol son.

[Clipper Nation]

lol son.
I'm glad to be wrong. Unless Detroit gets really lucky with lottery balls and their pick ends up in the Top 4 (which, knowing our luck, will probably happen), it looks like we'll have two lottery picks in a stacked draft. And Tobias is a better player than I expected.

Great trade by the Logo, tbh. Next up: fleecing the Spurs for Kawhi this summer.

Have you finally come to the conclusion that Blake might not be as good as you think he is?
