Possible trade alert!!

Dwight is better right now but Blake may have more upside.

Though Blake needs to work on his postgame.

 

I'm sure this is much ado about nothing, but it would be a good trade for both teams. The Clippers become a championship contender and the Magic get decent value for Howard.

Anybody who thinks Blake Griffin is better than Howard needs their head examined. Howard's effect on a team's defense put him in a class WAY above Griffin. Highlight reel dunks are nice, but one FG is still only one FG.

 

what he said

 

Not happening. Its 2012 Donald Sterling has wised up. He's keeping Griffin

 

Clippers should do it if available and provided that Howard signs an extension. When was the last time they have won the Pacific Division?

 

You can say the same thing about Howard though. Blake is only in his 2nd year.

 

Dwight is way better than Griffin.

Griffin is a good player, but we'll see whether he can sustain his play style. He has already suffered a season ending injury.

Dwight on the other hand is iron man. The guy missed 7 games in the last 7 seasons.

 

Great trade for both teams.

Of course Howard >> Griffin. Blake is a great offensive player, but in his wildest dreams can't impact the defensive end like Howard. Karl Malone was the NBA's best defensive power forward in the 90's. But Hakeem had a 10x bigger effect on defense. Same story here.

 

If this trade happens, they should make a video of Paul's reaction..."we're getting Howard? whom are we trading? wah, f*** it...i don't care! i don't care!!"

 

who dat Karl Malone?

 

Imagine the WCFs featuring the Clippers and Thunder: Howard vs. Perkins (who dislike each other) and Westbrook vs. CP3 (who absolutely HATE each other).

Would be nice to watch.

 

Blake can't block shots.

This is how superstar trades should look like. This is an even deal.

 

At best this trade is a push for both teams involved. You increase your chances or retaining CP3, but you trade into an older player, albeit a slightly more dominant one. I don't think either team would really want this...

 

Yeah, that's what I was referring to...

 

Yeah but Blake is by far a better PnR player than Howard is for Paul.

Howard gives them a chance now but they are the 3 seed right now. They are doing just fine right now.

 

ha! file under irony if this goes down

 

Blake without a post game makes him worse than Dwight.
DeAndre will be the bigger loss since he gets a crazy amount of blocks per game.

 

I am in agreement here.
