Paul Pierce & Clippers have agreed to extend the deadline on his contract to enable him to be traded before he retires, sources say. About $1M of Pierce's $3.6M is guaranteed but he could be traded or aggregated into a larger deal. Gives Clippers another asset if they need to use it.

Clippers trying to wheel and deal with limited assets, I see.

Hmmmm, will he get sent here with Blake so he can retire a Celtic? Interesting

Send him here! Having the Truth here to retire would be great, especially if we miss out on George+Hayward
I'm bitter.

Clippers have more assets now.  If they can keep Griffin and Redick, they should still be decent.  If they can use some of their extra assets and trade for George or some other upgrade, they could still be very relevant.

Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson

According to Windhorst, Redick is not interested in re-upping after the CP3 trade.

It's already been reported that Reddick has made it known he won't be resigning with the Clips. I don't see how Blake stays there now and wastes the prime of his career in what most likely is not a playoff team in the West next year without Paul or Reddick or Pierce.

The big loser in this is DeAndre Jordan...remember how Doc (Blake, CP3) went to see him in Texas and begged him to stay for 1 more run....

I wonder how he feels now??

and btw...I think Griffin is NOW coming with PP to Boston.

Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley, IMO, will go to LAC
