Once they get bounced in the WCF maybe they'll view LMA as the piece that would've gotten them to the finals. You never know. Some teams don't settle for almost good enough. Not saying they should or will but that's not "insane"

Jordan and Griffin are not leaving Clips if they make it to the WCFs. That's like saying Portland would trade Aldridge and Lopez if the Blazers make it to the WCFs. Understand how insane that logic is.

Yeah, that's complete nuts! That's like saying the Blazers get to the WCF and then trade away Jermaine O'Neal and Brian Grant. Oh, I guess only the Blazers could be that stupid.

And they were absolutely stupid for it. Surprisingly, the GM got fired the following year.
 
Yep. Totally my point. Only the Blazers could be that stupid.

No, they weren't stupid. They went all in and traded two players who couldn't guard Shaq for the only guy in the league that could guard Shaq.

It turned out not to be enough, but at the time is really was the best possible option...
 
What if LA has wanted out and the organization has known it. Let's say Olshey had some disagreements on how to manage the situation around CP3 in LAC, and that attributed to his departure. Then say Griffin comes here and Olshey executes his plan....

I would be on board for that situation, Griffin has looked killer in the playoffs, and his fast break game is something this team could really use. I bet this isn't the popular opinion, but I would absolutely go for a LA -> BG trade *If LA wants out.

We could certainly do a lot worse, and it mildly makes sense. But its also never going to happen...
 
Blake does so much more than Aldridge its not even close. Blake competes hard every second he's on the floor, shoots the ball from midrange, post up game, and can create shots for teammates. I don't see how anyone could argue that wouldn't be a good trade.........for us. No brainier in my opinion but no way LA trades Blake (untouchable)

If they lose this series, I could see them trading him. They need to do something. That team has been severely under performing considering their overall talent level. They have a deep bench, they have still arguably the best point guard in the game, and they have Doc Rivers. If they don't get to the conference finals this year, that will be a huge disappointment.

that's the one reason I want Hou to win the series. They will be forced to make a move to contend now which would be Aldridge. I read somewhere that Blake G and Chris P are redundant because CP3 negates Blake's ball handing and passing ability While Aldridge and CP3 would be highly compatible. I'd love to see Blake in a blazer uni.

Don't see it happening though.

The point about Paul and Blake being redundant makes a lot of sense. Something is wrong with that team. Paul was much better on the Hornets when he had David West, who is much more similar to an Aldridge than Blake Griffin. Either way, the Clips should be much better than they are.
 
Starting to see why there might be some credibility to this rumor.

What's wrong with the Clipps? Don't they want to win??
 
The Clippers = a lot of talent pieces that don't fit well together.

They're kind of the opposite of the Blazers.
 
This may have been discussed before, but Michael Thompson a few weeks ago was trying to sell fans that it made sense for both teams to make a Durant (last year of contract) for Griffin (From OKC) trade

It makes sense to me.

Who other than Cp3 , Blake, and Jordan are talented? I see a lot of role players, but basically 3 starters.

He puts up 16/3/2 on really good shooting. His D isn't great but he is a top 5 shooter imo. He's not far off from Wes.

Yeah I guess if they had a better SF he would be fine as a starter. But he was a 6th man for much of his career and I think he is better suited for that role.

Again, What did pop ever do without hall of famers? Hell pop had a top 5 PF of all time.

CP3 is most likely a HOFer. Griffin is a perennial All-Star. Rivers hasn't done anything since Garnett, Pierce, and Allen aged and left Boston.
