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

[AFully22]

What package you coming up with better than: 1st, 2nd, Tobias, Bradley, Boban for Blake?

We simply don’t have enough to offer

CJ and a first would probably have got it done but that makes no sense on our end. I want us to get involved as much as the next guy but I don’t see how we could have offered a package, worth it for us, that would have beat what Detroit offered.

Neil’s got to shop CJ at the deadline if for nothing more than to see what options we have. I’m sick of the CJ is off limits BS.

 

[Scalma]

What is Neil doing? Seriously... a player of that caliber at a position of need becomes available and we sit on the sidelines again. I sick of defending this clown Neil Olshey! This signals to me he is not even entertaining trading CJ... very disappointing... we are probably looking at status quo.

I can’t believe it. Detroit would’ve easily said yes to our Harkless, Meyers package.

 

[Boob-No-More]

P.S. we'd better fucking beat the Clippers tomorrow night. They won't have Blake and the new guys might not even play yet. Even, if they do, they won't be familiar with each other or the Clippers' playbook.

Clippers blowing it all up in a week.

 

[Portland2014]

Lillard
Connaughton
Aminu
Griffin
Nurkic

Way better than the McLillard experiment.

 

[ripcityboy]

I think Detroit would be perfect for Blake. If there is a team that can put up with his pouting and punching out employees, its them.

 

[illmatic99]

Lillard
Connaughton
Aminu
Griffin
Nurkic

Way better than the McLillard experiment.

Yes. For the 50 games a year that Blake plays

[Boob-No-More]

Lillard
Connaughton
Aminu
Griffin
Nurkic

Way better than the McLillard experiment.

And in the playoffs when Blake is injured:

Lillard
Connaughton
Turner
Aminu
Nurk

Sorry, not feeling it.

You

You have me blocked or on ignore FAMS?

Doesn't everyone?

But then we wont have a book on them either and that has to account for something right?

Sometimes a scrappy unknown can be a real pill

 

[andalusian]

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

 

[Strenuus]

I imagine Tobias, Bradley, and Stanley Johnson would be the trade the Pistons are offering

Two out of three aint bad.

 

[JDC]

Detroit wants to make the playoffs and the Clippers want to rebuild / clear money for 2019 (which is one reason why we weren't involved).

I like the deal for the Clippers. It'll be hard to get off of Gallo before 2019 deadline, but he'll more than likely be their only big money contract left on the books.

 

[Chris Craig]

And the Clippers throw in the towel....so without them and New Orleans the playoffs are foregone conclusion

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You guys seem to forget that Ballmer tried to steal Paul Allen's Microsoft stock when PA was sick with cancer. I doubt these two could agree on the weather.

And CC just jinxed Lillard into a season ending injury.

Nope. Jazz are going to come back and make it imo. But that also depends on what they do (if anything) at the deadline.

How dare you bring a realism to your thoughts???!!!!????

 

[Strenuus]

I really, really like that deal for the Clippers.

I also really, really dislike Blake Griffin.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Actually think LA is getting a great deal here.

I wonder if LA would deal DJ for Mahinmi+Oubre+Pick?

 

[Chris Craig]

They can have the 8th spot I don't care

 

[Chris Craig]

Jordan is next

 

[Orion Bailey]

I really, really like that deal for the Clippers.

Agreed. Glad he is now back east. I don't really have a liking for either LA team but if I had to pick one it would obviously be the Clippers. Tye got a great deal and now just need to finish up cleaning house and they are on the right path for a solid rebuild.

 

[Chris Craig]

This is the dam breaking, nba trades are going to start flowing

 

[Sarni]

Why do people think Clippers have got weaker here and have no chance to make playoffs? They got two very good starters for a great player. Harris and Bradley are both very, very good.

If anything this trade makes them better IMO.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I don't think anyone likes playing with Blake. Clips were wise to get rid of him.

The funniest thing is he is all over TMZ fro mdating that Kendal Kardashian girl and now he will have ot break up with the cali snob girls. HAHAHAHA

 

[rotary111]

I feel like the Clips killed on this trade....but i'm not a huge fan of blake and his 50 some games a year.

Are they going to be available for tommorows game?
