The Clippers would seek Jae Crowder, either Avery Bradley or Marcus Smart and multiple picks in exchange for Griffin.

No thank you.

Why not just try this summer? I doubt he's staying if this is the case...

If he is okay coming to BOS, why not just opt out and sign here in the summer?

Yeah...but maybe they can work a 3 team deal--and get Carmelo to LA

Id do it if its guaranteed that he'll extend this summer.
Jae and AB but not Smart. Why wait for summer when we have no idea what Hayward or even Blake will do...but I ain't parting withthose Brooklyn picks...they can have the clipper pick back or the memphis one or even the Celtic 2018 one.

I hope not. Griffin doesn't love basketball.

IT - Fultz
Smart - Rozier
Jaylen - Jerebko
Blake - KO
Horford - Zizic

beastly team

Then again, the floorspacing will kinda suck if Smart and Jaylen dont learn how to shoot

This week, it's just nerve-racking. Help.

Anyways, I don't think anyone has posted that rumor here before...but it's been resurfaced a few hours ago!

Twin towers of Blake Griffin and Al Horford would look mighty deadly. Too bad it might cost the Celtics one Brooklyn pick?

Ainge said he didn't want to go after a player who's contract is about to expire so, even if I'd like to see Blake, I wouldn't understand the trade.

We're not gonna be champions this year. If you want him, sign him without counter-part in the summer

He would talk to Griffin before the trade to secure he is extended.

In the same way the Mavs talked to DeAndre Jordan? :p

It's different. That was just an agreement in the moratorium days (I think you use this word), while we may extend Griffin while he is still under contract.

That would be the goal, but if Griffin would agree to a new contract with the Cs before being traded, why wouldn't he also agree to sign with us this summer. I guess that's when you get into contract specifics like a 5 year vs a 4 year contract, but the BKN pick has shown to be pretty important to Ainge - not sure he deals it for an expiring player.

Although, I suppose he could do an Avery, Amir, Memphis pick kind-of deal since we may need to deal Avery this summer to sign Griffin. It would also allow us to keep KO.
