 Can we protect the Nets pick this year for the top two? If we can do that I'll make this trade on the Celtics end.
 Blake is a superstar, and we need that.

 Doc is fed up with Blake and nows the time to call.

I don't think we're allowed to protect another team's pick, but I could be wrong. We could do a lesser of two or three picks though. So the worst of the Celts, Nets, and Mavs picks conveys.

Try to keep Smart out of the deal.

You know what?  Nah. 

I would give them some random assets like Amir/Turner/Sully/Celts 2016 pick/Dallas 2016 pick/Celtics 2018 pick

It's not really fair to them, but it's still better than a lot of deals they'll get offered.  He probably won't play for the rest of the season and Doc will want to push ahead.  Nobody else will really offer them anything for a player that won't go until Halloween.

What about Sullinger, Bradley, Jerebko + our pick, Dallas pick and both high 2nd rounders?

That deal would  improve the Clippers' defense dramatically, give them lots of depth, and Doc worked with Sully and Bradley before.

Thats not nearly enough.  The initial trade proposal probably wouldn't get them to bite either.

Yeah, probably, but it can't hurt to ask, can it? I just think the fact Doc worked with both Sully and Bradley before could be a plus for us. That offer seems to be a good starting point for negotiations.

Regardless, the Clippers are in a bad position. Even at full health, they probably can't compete with the Warriors and the Spurs. They have to shake things up right now before they waste another season of Chris Paul's prime.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
If the Brooklyn pick were #1 or #2 then they'd listen.
Right now they'd hang up.
Blake is generally one of the best players in the NBA in the playoffs and an MVP candidate.

  • A true Celtic plays with heart.
Blake Griffin is a stud, can do it all in the playoffs, and MVP potentiality. Hes lethal, because his handles have improved, his free throw percentage is better, and despite his unimpressive wingspan; has solidified his defense.

Kelly, Smart, Amir, Brooklyn first doesn't even move the needle.

We would have to offer more picks.

Griffin is a proven player, and could certainly put up numbers easily on any team.

If there is anyone untouchable on the Clippers, its Griffin. I honestly don't see anyone we could offer the Clippers that would be enough for Blake.

Even if we managed to get Griffin, our entire roster would be most likely gutted.

You mean, he's exactly the kind of player people are talking about when they say "we need a superstar"?

Doc's not hanging up when Danny calls, he'd at least listen.

Yes, I believe the pick can be protected, but then LAC says no.

Obvious move even if the Net's pick is included. That is a bargain price for Griffin.

The Clippers aren't going into a rebuild. Doc is pretty dense but he knows the second he makes a trade like this CP3 and DeAndre Jordan come in demanding trades to the Heat or Knicks or something
