[SIeepwalker]

Oh god please no... I'm not sure I'll be able to like the team if Griffin is on it...

You don't want one of the best bigs in the league because of personal reasons? Good thing your not the GM.

In a vacuum I like griffin, but considering what it would take to get him...nah.

one-year rental, hmmm.

I think Olshey has more influence over Blake than most GMs in the league..that's the X factor in acquiring him

 

[PDXFonz]

All for it as long as it's not a 1 year rental which sacrifices young pieces.

 

[Sedatedfork]

If we can buy low, I say do it.

Unless Neil could flip him for an even better fit...Neil is a big believer in collecting assets..Even if Blake didn't play a game...he'll get you a needle mover in the league somewhere.

I don't think so. I think Blake and Dame would mesh and play really well together. Griffin could be the next great Blazers PF.

The Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly pursuing a trade of Blake Griffin with a report arriving they offered a package to the Denver Nuggets.

"I've been told the Clippers actually called Denver and offered Blake Griffin and Lance Stephenson for Danilo Gallinari, Kenneth Faried, Will Barton and Nikola Jokic. Denver turned it down because Blake will be a free agent after next season. Plus they like some of those young kids."

Broussard said Doc Rivers adamantly denied it.

Broussard lol

 

[Natebishop3]

I believe it. That's exactly the kind of bullshit offer they would make.

Based on that rumor and the hubris of LAC, I could see them calling Neil and offering Blake/Lance for CJ/Crabbe/Vonleh/Davis.

That's only 4 posts up above yours Riverman.... don't you read the thread before you post? lol

Read somewhere that Clippers possibly looking for a shooting big so they can sit Deandre late in games.

And Nikola Jokic

That makes me feel like we aren't getting him unless we give up Meyers AND Crabbe... Tough sale.

We wouldn't get him even for that. CJ would be the starting point

Actually it was BGD that beat ya to the punch. I just made a snarky post about what they would want from us.

You mean I skipped over a BGD post? well....that never happens! I stand corrected!

Hey guys, I'm hearing that the Clips just offered Blake to the Nugs. I'll tell you more as it develops.

Will the Thrill is in on the deal if it goes through...couldn't be happier for the Thriller...also read the Nuggets will probably pay somebody to take JJ Hickson

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I wouldn't mind Blake, if only because we'd finally have a player that the refs give some calls to (who that change if he were here, though?).

That being said, no way do I want to give up anything for a free agent-to-be.

We're kind of the Boy Scouts of the league...you come here to get merit badges..exactly what a guy with his problems would need to rebuild his image again. I only want him if he wants to be here and completely buys into the culture...reality..somebody will out bid us to trade for him...I think the Knicks..Melo might jump at a chance to be a Clipper and chase a ring before it's too late.

Most Blazer fans want the total boy scout even if a little attitude would make them a better team. Which is quite a change because Maurice Lucas (RIP) was beloved and he cold-cocked Rudy T.

Let's make it a 3 Team Deal, send Hendo and Meyers (they want a stretch-big) to LAC, rerouting The Thrill back home to PDX, while convincing them to accept it by taking on Hickson and Stephensons contracts!


That's if they want to do that deal in the first place.

No he didn't.

That was Kermit Washington.

Dude, huge foul!
