    Really IMO no one pistons gave up was equal value to Griffin. Harris and Bradley can be good players but are replaceable. Griffin is a talent that can’t be replaced

    West robbed SVG. That's why coaches don't make good GMs.

    I'm kind of in shock about this. Just hard to believe Blake has been dealt.

    I wonder if the Clippers would ever trade Austin Rivers lol

    Griffin is injury prone. He isn't going to take the Clippers anywhere if he is going to be out 1/4th of the season each year. West was smart and got a good haul out of it.

    I'm really surprised that Stanley Johnson wasn't in the deal. He was the one I thought for sure would be involved. Tobias Harris is having a very strong year.

    Clips though appear to me to be looking for rebuilding pieces. I don't know if they'll flip Bradley or not. As for Blake Griffin, that dude was owed $39 million in 2021-2022 alone. I think moving him now was smart... his athleticism won't last.

    I expect Lou Williams, DAJ and even Bev to be traded in the following days and Doc to be fired in the summer.

    I get it from both sides.

    Clips wisely decided to rebuild, obvious.

    For the Pistons, they aren't a good team and they can't get a star. Griffin is a star. He won't help this win this year but maybe you can build around him if you are smart and have a decent run with him over the next few years. Maybe.

    This is a bummer. I was looking forward to the next hou game vs the clips.

    Well the east got somewhat of an all star I guess.....

    Gotta think its a full on rebuild. Deandre next, then Lou?

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Doc and Austin are gone too.
