Uhh, you are aware they cant sign FA's above the MLE when they are over the LT like they will be once they re-sign Griffin. This trade gets them a draft pick and 3 pretty good rotation players to give them depth.

To me it says "punch your best friend in the face and we will wait a year then trade your freckly ads"
In that case I think they'd rather trade DeAndre (as rumoured) before trading Blake.
I'd probably do that as the Pacers. Not sure why LA would if they think they have a shot at him in FA.
lmao wut? Trading DeAndre has never been a rumor. The rumors have always been around Griffin.
Well I guess it guarantees he re-signs since they'll also be able to offer him more. It's like double protection.

Yeah I think the only reason they trade anything for him is to get him a year earlier and endure that Indy can't give him more money. But that's not even that big of a chance.
Better to keep all your assets and s9gn him in free agency.
I thought I read that somewhere.
Anyway it's still better to trade DeAndre. He's hardly a franchise player.

I kind of think that we'll see a Spurs type handshake Arrangement going on in La this summer. Both their Superstars are going to opt out and not sign until after the Clippers have secured free agency Target. They won't trade Griffin
Are you insane? Jordan stays healthy and is one of the best defenders/rebounders in the NBA. Griffin is nice, but I think the Clippers would be better with that package of players over Griffin.
Does that work? I have no idea how cap holds or w/e work in those situations.
Blake's a superstar. You don't trade him for Wilson Chandler & a bag of chips.

lol Wizards seeking a second round pick for Trey Burke
No idea, I thought that's what cap holds were suppose to prevent.
Fail to see how presenting a trade idea is arguing, but ok. Would you like to top me off now or later? You keep following me around everywhere.
You're obviously one of the best posters on this site. You just like to argue about anything and everything. Just dishing out what you dish out. I actually quite enjoy what you bring to the table. You don't get challenged very much on here that's all.

If Griffin could actually be had for what Denver offers in Cy's trade, then I would hope the Jazz one up the Nuggets.

Think it would be hard for teh Jazz to beat that in term of cheap win now assets with years left on contract.
