Clips have traded Paul to the Rockets for Beverly, Decker, L Williams, and a top 3 protected pick. Clips going full rebuild now? Where does that put Blake and Jordan?

CP3 traded to Houston, how does this impact the Jazz?

Confirms Griffin is gone. Boston is on his list. Fingers crossed they like Blake over Hayward.

You beat me, but this also means Griffin is gone. Boston is on his list. We have to hope Ainge prefers Blake over Gordon.

Good news for the Jazz.

Another PG suitor goes off the market in Houston and the Clippers arent a playoff team anymore.

We should make the same deal for Griffin... if only we had someone to convince him to do it.
Griffin for Favors+first

Smart trade for both sides. I actually think the Clippers are better if Griffen stays. They have had major issues at wing with only Reddick. Lou and Decker help. Beverley plays as good of D as Paul.

How did they make salaries work.. CP3 with trade kicker makes way more than Williams, dekker, and Beverly. This must be contingent on them moving Anderson or something weird.

Actually I think this makes it more likely Griffin stays. It's his team now. Part of the reason he wanted out was because he hates Chris Paul.

they could still swing patbev your way?

Sounds like the Clips could be in full tank mode.

 

[JimLes]

Ain't this the same mother****er who literally held DeAndre Jordan hostage to talk him out of leaving the Clippers?

paul and harden sharing the ball?

wonder how that will work.

The problem is I think they did this deal to appease Griffin so he would stay.

Yep. Clippers went from imploding to staying playoffs relevant. Well done by their GM.

good for me. clippers ticket price will go down. I guess I will get better ticket when they play the jazz!

 

[framer]

The fact that the Jazz put the final nail in that whining team's coffin makes me very happy.

Pretty well when you are running the D'Antoni offense at a million miles an hour.
