Just makes zero sense.  Detroit is going nowhere with Blake added.

Clippers unload a terrible contract and probably tear it all down after this.

The deal I heard that's being discussed is Blake Griffin for Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovic, and a first-round pick.

Why does Detroit do this?  I know they suck now but they will still suck.

It looks like they were not going to re-sign Bradley, so this way they get Griffin for Harris, Boban, and a 1st. They need somebody to sell tickets. A Drummond-Griffin pairing could be interesting, especially if Reggie Jackson finally gets healthy.

Reggie's gotta get flipped. You need some type of shooting around them.

Is SVG still the Pistons GM? 

LAC already having buyer's remorse over the Blake signing.  Harris and Bradley works per the trade machine.  Don't see Balmer going for a complete tear down.  Could they be positioning themselves to make a run at Lebron or George?

Feels like a DeAndre trade would be right around the corner to me.

Griffin is going to hate being in Detroit, good thing at least he got the most money possible out of that contract.

I stand by my proposal of Tristan and IT to the Cavs for DJ, with some salary balancers thrown in there due to tax issues.
