Who would we have to give up $ wise to get Blake? Obviously Anderson. If we could keep Lou and Ego that would be a win.
Griffin is easily the free agent I want most . His health is the only question . But maybe the rockets are due for some luck . Our biggest need BY FAR is another playmaker. It works best if that playmaker is at the 3 or 4 . Griffin is the best playmaking forward available in FA ( Hayward is a solid all around player , but he doesn't create offense for others like griffin can) Depending on what we have to give up to clear cap space , we would realistically be the second best team in the west with inprovement from our young guys (Dekker, Harrell, Capela , onuaku ). I loved our 3 guard rotation before we got Lou and to me he is a huge luxury. With griffin in the fold , we could pursue a more defense oriented backup 2 . Ariza and Dekker at the 3 are solid if unspectacular and I'm high on Dekker ability to become better than Trevor this season. Capela is awesome for what we do and he's only 22? Harell also could become a real player. I want griffin
Didn't Anderson end up marrying Griffin's ex or something like that? Pls forgive my chatty pattyness but I read it on here unsolicited I believe
They will all take paycuts so that we can get all of them. Team motto next year will be #whateverittakes
not even close. people are kidding themselves if they think teams dont want a true stretch 4 who shoots 3s at 40% in today pace and space league. in fact the only pf in the league with his volume at over 2.5 a game that just did it with over 500 attempted. well ahead of any behind him
Hahaha I didn't even realize the guy spelled there names wrong. Could be fake but could also just be the reporter being a moron. Ya never know. I wonder if y'all would be ok with that move though. I mean I would be all for it if they accept that trade. One step closer to a super team anyways.
Yeah I don't even think I would call it a salary dump. We would be taking on $4M more with PG13's salary at least. I guess he's looking at it like 3 players for one. Eh...I'm starting to think it's fake but if it happens tomorrow I would be stoked.
I am 99% certain that Clippers will keep him. He is their franchise player. They are not ready to change to rebuilding mode yet, given Doc Rivers past preferences.
It's Griffins choice at the end of the day, even though LA should be able to offer him more money. If they lose CP3 in free agency , I think the house comes crumbling down. They don't have a bench , they don't have young players to develop. They can resign Blake for the max , but building around a player when you don't have assets and you are already paying him lots of money is hard to do. I don't know the contract situation of the rest of the players on their team ... So maybe they expire soon and they can really retool the team , but either way , FA is generally a bad way to pick up value and that's what they would need.
come on Morey, plz make Ariza available as well!!really don't want to see him starting at 3 next season....
Lmao. 1. Multiple names spelled wrong 2. Proceeds to say it could be a salary dump even though the trade would have the Rockets taking back 5+ million more in salary.
