Maybe West and Van Gundy are literally sitting on Griffin and talking, because I don't see this making sense otherwise.
I can’t imagine what DET has that would interest LAC? I mean Drummond but they already have Jordan. Even if they traded Jordan and just had Drummond that would be awful. Blake just signed and its not like DET has prime picks either.
Blake is really good when he is on the floor, but talk about damaged goods...
He plays more than the best 2 way player in the world.
Not on average and not before this season. Blake is coming off two season-ending injuries in a row.
I mean, whatSo DET thinks that Blake/Jordan weren’t enough but Blake/Drummond would be? Ok.
It'd at least make them compe ive in the first round of the playoffs out East, and if they could draw Boston in the first round they'd cause some serious problems. Just don't see why the Clippers would do that trade at all.
I mean, what
They could reroute Harris and Bradley for more assets.
I get why DET would do it, but why LAC. And even if you are DET it just seems kinda weird from a fit perspective
Or trade Gallo (who mirrors Harris) and definitely trade Jordan. This would be a total blow up because basketball wise it makes no sense for LAC. They would be awful
I would not mind Harris for SA’s first rounder.
Then you'd have the matching salary to worry about
Done deal.
damn
what a weird trade for LAC
Clipper Nation get in here
That was completely out of left field and still doesn't make sense..
They literally opted to keep Griffin over CP3 in the summer and then decided to trade Griffin 6 months later,
Well this shows why SA didn’t trade LMA. If this is what Blake fetched (very little talent and a mid-tier first round pick) then no I’m not moving LMA for that!
Can't wait to see side show Boban playing alnongside Jordan. That should be interesting to say the least.
So DET thinks that Blake/Jordan weren’t enough but Blake/Drummond would be? Ok.
A desperate franchise that can't draft or attract stars. Griffin would probably be their best player in a decade and outside of a washed up cups of coffee by Iverson and McGrady, their biggest star since Hill.
I don't get it from Clippers perspective. I know they could and did offer the best contract and he's breaking down, but in a league where stars are congregating, he not only stayed, he did so after they lost a superstar. By trading him in year 1 to an outpost for a non homerun package, they'll likely hurt their reputation in the league.
This would obviously mean they're all in on a re-build or load, so expect Jordan and Williams to follow suit. Beverley too, in the offseason.
Timing is everything. 1-2 years ago, Griffin goes for a lot more. Tack on a few more injuries, a fresh 5 year max contract and some signs of minor slippage and this is what you get.
Makes zero sense for clippers.
