    I highly doubt Paul re-signs with LAC and they aren't going to win as is, so they might as well trade for the local kid and rebuild around some young players.

    Chris Paul will go to Spurs to replace TP, Bulls since Rondo won't work out, Knicks when Rose doesn't work out or Lakers.

    Do they have enough assets to also trade for Westbrook? He might demand be traded to Boston if griffin ends up there maybe.

    Yeah, i'd say more than "dubious".

    This would probably be the most ridiculous trade ever after Pau Gasol to the Lakers.

    Westbrook would be a better fit in Boston, IMO, but if Westbrook's not available, Griffin is still a fantastic get for the Celtics.

    I actually kind of like that deal for the Clippers. I'm a big fan of Bradley, though. Next to CP3 he'll be very solid.

    If I was the clippers I would just trade Blake to the cavaliers for love. Not sure how reluctant he would be to stay in Cleveland but it would keep love in La for a while and then later try your best to get Westbrook there if possible of cp leaves for another super team during the next offseason.

    Clippers should do Griffin for Westbrook

    Then trade Paul in a 3 team deal for Love

    Westbrook
    Reddick
    (blank)
    Love
    Jordan

    Would be a sweet team.

    Celtics were talking to Chase Budinger. Why would they do that since they have no need or roster spots for him? Maybe a sign for a consolidation trade.

    Would be a great pick up. Sure he kind of messed up in the final games of 2015 WCF but he is the best PF in the game when healthy. So aggressive and strong.

    Lets see if y'all are feeling this one (trade idea)

    Paul and Ilyasova to Heat

    Westbrook and Bosh to Clippers

    Griffin and Dragic to Thunder

    Now how about THAT

    I doubt Bosh gets moved anytime soon. He has a long, big contract and a serious medical condition.

    I'm bored so how about...

    Love 2 Lakers
    Paul 2 Cavs
    Westbrook 2 LAC
    Russell and/or Randle and/or Ingram/Assets 2 OKC

    Not sure why LeBron wanted CP3 so bad, probably got over it... Westbrook and Love would probably agree to extensions in LA. OKC, they're getting pennies on the dollar no matter what they do.

    Can you sign and trade a restricted free agent and still absorb the same amount of money over the cap? Just curious.

    J.R. Agree on the 'devaule' smokescreen.
