Rumor Blake Griffin for LMA clickbait rumor

We really dodged the Hawes bullet. I was pretty pissed off at the time, but then again I was when Hedo spurned us too. Players have a habit of saving us from ourselves.

I was happy Hedo went elsewhere, but I really thought Hawes would have been a good fit for Portland at the time.

Luckily we found a better version of Hawes in Leonard

Doc getting roasted right now on local LA radio for letting Collison go, and signing Hawes instead of .....Paul Pierce.

I don't know if they had a chance for Pierce, but I do remembering thinking that it was a perfect fit. I bet Doc tries this summer for PP.

If Pierce is on the market WE need to go all out to sign him. Whether that be trade Nic or start Nic at 2.. I don't care.

I never understood Olshey's fascination with Hawes. He spent years as an NBA laughing stock, then finally started on a bad Eastern team for a year, which promptly dumped him. The FAs who succeed here are the ones who surprise us because of low expectations, like Lopez and Andre Miller. And even Blake, years ago.

Maybe he was fooled by his advanced stats. He shot almost 45% from 3pt range in his 27 games with Cleveland and 40 % with Philly,
while grabbing 8 boards in 30 minutes. Damn you PER.
