#WojBomb: Clips and Pistons Agree to Blake Griffin Trade

[GreenWarrior]

bet lou Williams and Jordan end up in Cleveland.

Poll up on Detroit Bad Boys site - people are against the trade 62-38.

I think they value Harris pretty highly. And they’re worried about Blake’s injury risk and contract.

Detroit might sell some tickets, but why on Earth would they expect Blake+Drummond to work out any differently than Blake+Jordan?  And they've got no Chris Paul to boost them to "possible 2nd round team" territory.

I like this trade for both teams.

Instead of losing him in FA last off-season, they resigned him and traded him for value. Harris is a good swing forward and a pretty good fit next to Gallo (if healthy) and Jordan. The Clippers also get a first and a rental of Bradley (probably can't resign him?).

The Pistons get splashy and sell high on Harris and Bradley. Griffin may have lost some explosiveness, but he is still an elite scorer and passer at the forward position. I know they like Jackson, but they probably need a better guard, but they got to keep Johnson and Kennard, who could be pretty good 4th and 5th bananas.

Pistons got scarier today. They have a scary future salary cap problem, but they got scarier today.

Lol remember when Blake was a free agent and the Clips put him on a t-shirt with MLK, Einstein, Lincoln, etc?



....yeah that was July.

They apparently had most of their presentation to him about being a Clippers legend and retiring his number.

They were recently looking to trade Drummond so I wouldn't think they are so married to him.

[Birdman]

Deandre Jordan for Kevin Love straight up?

[DefenseWinsChamps]

Wow. Its gotta be Harris and Bradley if true.

Called it.

[Phantom255x]

WOW so Bradley lasted all of about 10 hours on the trade market?? 

Why the hell would DET do this deal???

And what is LAC thinking? Rebuild? Or do they think Harris + AB > Griffin in a playoff push? With the 1st and 2nd rounders being bonus?

You have to think LAC are better equipped to make the playoffs before Griffin gets hurt again.

[rondofan1255]

The DET pick is protected 1-4 for 2018... looks good if DET can't get it together.

[Snakehead]

And what is LAC thinking? Rebuild?

I think so, and it will be clear if they are soon because there are more moves to make.  One of at least Lou Williams or DeAndre I think has to go in a rebuild with their value right now.  I could say keeping DeAndre and building out the rest of the team, but of course he could have some good value too.  I expect to see probably both moved and it will be a full rebuild.  I think they could do really well at the end of it too.

Go get Lou Williams!

Apparently they're actively shopping and discussing deals regarding Lou Williams and DJ now, too. Get him (Lou), Danny! I honestly wouldn't care between Lou or Tyreke; either of them would tremendously help us.

We won't get him.

Cavaliers will offer Nets Pick + Assets for DJ and Lou Williams unfortunately.
