Clippers and Pistons are engaged in serious talks on a deal centered on forward Blake Griffin

[Sarni]

What exactly is the plan for Pistons? They have been poor recently but their roster was somewhat balanced. It isn't balanced at all anymore, instead it's basically the same as Pelicans before Cousins injury but with much worse personnel (Davis is much better than Griffin, Cousins is much better than Drummond and their backcourts are both shite).

 

[Sarni]

Cuz' they are going to trade Lou and Jordan soon.

If they get equally good deals as they did here, they might have just gone through a very nice rebuild.

 

[BigGameDamian]

WTF is Neil doing???

He's going after DeAndre Jordan.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

They say the team that gets the best player is the winner in the trade, and Clips got Boban, so...

[Rastapopoulos]

In previous years this would have created a problem for the All-Star game rosters...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Blake is making $171 million, right? Isn't that enough to buy all of downtown Detroit?

Not anymore.

 

[THE HCP]

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We should trade Stotts and Meyers for Doc Rivers!

Wow, Pistons roster is truly brutal now and they cannot deal picks anymore... Besides the two up front they have Jackson and Ish Smith at PG, Langston Galloway and Luke Kennard at SG, Stanley Johnson and Reggie Bullock at SF... Wow.

 

[Chris Craig]

Boo

[BigGameDamian]

I hope Neil isn't going to be gun-shy!

 

[Lukee]

They wanna fast rebuild. Ain't gonna work that way.

 

[Orion Bailey]

So, you want to tie up over $150 million and 4.5 years for a guy who has missed 100 games over the last 3.5 seasons and has been injured in the first round of the playoffs the last two years?

Somehow, I'm not surprised by this.

BNM

I gave him a like, but I clearly missed the green font that you caught.

 

[ripcityboy]

Wow! That trade is YUUUUUGE!

 

[BigGameDamian]

They wanna fast rebuild. Ain't gonna work that way.

I hope it does because the way it is now (strictly out of the draft) is kind of boring.

 

[blue9]

What are the chances LAC got Avery to trade-flip to us? Not good, huh?

 

[Lukee]

I hope it does because the way it is now (strictly out of the draft) is kind of boring.

Yeah, but either way, it's good time to rebuild with knowing Warriors are gonna be here for next 2-3 years.

[ripcityboy]

Which is why "players being loyal" or "taking a home town discount" is the biggest crock of shit I have ever heard.

The real question is would it be enough to bring clean water back to Flint?

Isn't that priceless??

 

[Labinot41]

Pistons got fucked hard in that Deal

 

[Chris Craig]

No shit...he could be winning a ring with the Mavericks right now..oh wait

 

[kjironman1]

I was thinking the same damn thing.

 

[Chris Craig]

You think the Clippers would take Turner, Harkless, and Meyers for Jordan and Bradley

 

[BigGameDamian]

So when do we get DeAndre Jordan and Lue Williams?
