OT Blake Griffin to Celtics?

[Pinwheel1]

not the best of sources..so far

I assume you mean for the Clippers. Yeah, that's a problem. If they're keeping Chris Paul, they're in win-now mode. But then why would they trade with Boston directly?
Also, if they're keeping Chris Paul, they wouldn't want Westbrook. Conversely, OKC wouldn't really want Chris Paul, because they're rebuilding.

(Also: remember your Kevin Love reasoning? By that reasoning Griffin's impending free agency limits what the Clips can ask for him.)

I guess if the plan is to parcel off their stars and rebuild, then the deal is fine.... but trading for Bradly and Johnson if you're rebuilding doesn't make much sense to me. The Brooklyn pick is nice though.

Maybe we could get an offer on Jordan if they're blowing it up.

Packaging Plumlee, Aminu and Davis for Griffin or Love is not worth it to me...not even close to worth it. 3 rotation players for a guy with serious issues..griffin and a no show in the playoffs...love. I'll take Plums, big Ed and Chief all day long over those guys. To me....Ed Davis and Aminu are keepers...Plumlee will be a free agent so his deal could be moved but all 3? No way..Stotts is building his starting lineup to use Chief at the 4...he's earned a spot as a core player.

Blake going to BOS and LAC getting guards back opens up the possibility of CP3 to CLE, Kyrie to OKC, RW to LAC as the principals in a Super Friends join up. Also leaves CLE with Love + ??? For Melo.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

I agree with riverman. Fuck griffin.

Kyrie and Melo would never get traded...

If OKC called up Cleveland tomorrow and offered RW for Irving, the Cavs would do it. They wouldn't even hesitate.

I bet you all the money to my name that the Cavs don't trade Kyrie

Advanced stats suggest that Irving's a winner and a champion while Westbrook's a choker.

You do realize that never is a very long time, yes?

I mean they won't trade him this summer like you suggest they will.

 

[stampedehero]

Says here that the Celtics are preparing to trade for Blake Griffin.

Good. I Always wanted him elsewhere from the division we are in.

 

[Natebishop3]

I mean they won't trade him this dinner like you suggest they will.

That's just a bold faced lie.... they won't trade him his dinner...... it's provided by the team... gratis.

 

[PDXFonz]

Nope....I'm not a Blake Griffin fan by any stretch..not for 3 rotation players I really actually do like....that's just my opinion...I like defense..Plumlee I have less attachment to...he's like Joel Freeland to me..but Ed and Chief are guys I love on the roster

I am, and I wouldn't trade those 3 either. Apparently Neither would Neil, otherwise we'd have Griffin on our team.

More allstar spots are opening up in the west...I like it

We have a logjam in the frontcourt. A consolidation trade for Griffin would be great.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

i dont know what up with all the plumlee hate though. dude played his ass off last year and is a class act. i like him on my team. doesnt hurt to have back up for ezeli just in case. plus everyone crying about rest and heavy minutes, why not have a 3 center rotation to keep the big guys fresh and less likely to get injured? hell one night sit ezeli next night sit plums next fiz ed. keep those legs strong.

3 good players who seem to have bought into this system > An All-Star PF who could very well jump ship in FA.

If he was willing to stay it'd be great.

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

I blame the person who triple dog dared me. I mean what the fuck was I supposed to do?

There's only one dog on this forum that triple dog dares anyone to wear heels, and it's because he's a filthy filthy old man.

I play in my church league. Huge church with about 15 or so teams. It's either a home run or single

Ever play Texas one-pitch? Now that's a fun format...

I don't think anyone is hating on Plumlee - I'm certainly not, even though I'm advocating for trading him. I quite like the guy and wouldn't mind keeping him. I just think the chances are high that he'll get an offer too large to match next summer. Maybe I'll be wrong this time around, but if it were me - given the bigs we have under contract - I'm not taking the chance. Of course, I'm not trading him for peanuts, either.
