Bill Simmons: Thinks if the LAC fails, that Griffin gets traded for Love

I can't see Blake playing for the T-Wolves

 

People just now coming around to how overrated he is?

But no, why is he the fall guy? Why not Doc? Why not Chris?

 

What does that even mean? Home court? Semifinals?

Doc's a proven winner and CP3 is the third best player in the league. As for Blake, I have a hard time believing they'd flip him, no matter how catastrophic the "failure." The dude is incredibly young and has been (slowly) expanding his game. Definitely overrated, but that doesn't mean he can't eventually live up his hype.

That squad's problems begin and end with Deandre. Give them a real defensive presence next to Blake and watch everything fall into place.

 

Sounds like a trade you make now, period.

 

Blake is so underrated by people in terms of what he can actually do on the court. He has his flaws but you have to keep in mind that he is young, and it looks like he is constantly trying to improve his game.

 

Why wait?
Love >>> Griffin... If Minny would accept it, do it today.

 

Proven winner? Doc's legacy comes from coaching the Celts big 3...how's that make him a proven winner when that team practically coaches itself? Personally I don't see BG going to Minny, if he gets traded expect him to go to LA or NYC when he hits FA. Maybe if they blow it up we can get him for Asik lol.

 

Love is too injury prone, id keep Griffen.

 

Good question. They are going to fail even with love.

 

So, whether it's LA Clips or Minnesota... Love is still screwed.

 

I am disappointed in how little BG has improved tbh but I think the main thing that will hurt the Clippers this season is their terrible bench defense. Having Mullens, Jamison, Amundson(well he just got waived), Hollins as your backup bigs is atrocious.

 

I'm a big Simmons fan but this is just him masturbating to scenarios he dreamed up while sitting on the toilet. Someone should tell him to talk this stuff to the random trade thread in the GARM.

 

+1, Simmons is pretty knowledgeable, but he still has sh!tty ideas that should be kept to himself.

 

I'd stay with Griffin. He's the franchise. He's who other players want to play with. Not Love. whether he reached his ceiling or not is debatable. I think he has. Maybe he can add 4 more points a game on experience alone. But he is an asset on the court and from a recruitment angle. Kevin love is a great player, but not capable of carrying a team. Think this is proven to be true.

 

I don't think Blake is overrated...
I don't think Blake is underrated...
I do think Blake is rated...

They'd really be using Love to stomp on Griffin's face.

 

Griffin and Love, two of the most overrated players in the league. Great examples of putting up nice numbers that have little impact.

 

Zero empirical evidence to suggest that about Blake. His teams have historically played much better with him on the court.

 

Playing better with him on the court is setting the bar pretty low, isn't it? I would hope that, for all the money he makes, his team would play better with him on the court. My goodness.
