Interesting wrinkle from all this:

Avery Bradley is also now eligible to be traded to Boston. The Celtics are not considered the last team he played for (see Andrew Bogut last trade deadline).
4:10 PM - 29 Jan 2018

And he fits in our DPE. That would be amazing. Would you rather have Lou Williams, Tyreke Evans, or Avery Bradley?

He doesn't. DPE is worth $8.4m, Avery makes $8.8m.

This seems to be a rare instance of a star player going from West to East.  It seems like it's been the other way around for a while now.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Bradley easily He would be key against GS and he knows our system, and we know him.

I think Boston's top need now is offense, and Bradley's the least offensively explosive player of the three. I'd take either of the other two.

I get flipping Bradley because don't want to resign him, but Blake's contract is awful.  He is not going to get better as a player and now you pair him with Drummond expecting better results then he had with Jordan?

Blake is going to sell tickets, including season tickets, and merchandise.

Until he gets injured which he will absolutely do.

Danny should be on the phone with Frank right now trying to pull Lou Williams out of the firesale.

From your mouth to God's ears

I am not so sure it's a fire sale. I kind of think LAC have improved with the deal. Tobias Harris is solid and NOT injury prone and we know what AB brings.

Yeah, I agree with this and think Doc is going full perimeter D / shooting with a Jordan anchor, like a smaller, weirder version of the Magic-Howard teams.

Ya i'm not sure that this move doesn't make clippers better. Beverly, Bradley, Harris, Galo, Jordan would be a solid  lineup with some nice perimeter defense and some shooting. Of course if they get the right offer for Jordan or Willimas they can and should move them. If not make a playoff run. Getting out of Griffins contract and getting what could be a decent first is a good move.

Not really.  It is lottery protected in 2019 and 2020 and then converts to a 2nd rounder.

Imagine having to move from LA to Detroit. Haha wow I know he’s getting paid but no amount of money will change the fact that he will be staying in Detroit for a significant period of time. Possibly length of that contract
