    blake can replace jeff green in the starting lineup. Blake is an underrated passer. I like this move for the nets. Also the nets have dinwiddie to trade to get more assests

    Can Blake rebound or play defense? I’ve not paid much attention to him since leaving LA.

    Spencer for PJ! Win win for Houston & Brooklyn

    Watch him come back motivated to play and be a different player.

    He was a good player a few years back, but he has fallen off the past 18 months or so.

    Maybe moving to the Nets might kickstart his career again. Besides, he can play around 20 minutes a night and rotate with Green.

    The Nets might be happy with Jordan and Claxton at the center position.

    They'd want more for Dinwiddie. Tucker is 36.

    Probably off the bench for the nets. Nice depth signing.

    Harden is about to turn Griffin into a monster.

    I like Blake Griffin, always have think at one point he was on the trajectory to be a HOF player - because he was an amazing player.

    The tired and lazy statement you made is a reflection on your ignorance...nothing more.

    I pity you.

    If Harden resurrected Kenneth Faried, imagine what he can do with Blake Griffin.

    Griffin still has insane playmaking ability. The guy has guard like skills . Plus he is a 40 percent three point shooter. He can play in the Nets small ball system as a C or PF. He may have lost his athletic ability but he still has skills and shooting ability.

    lol all it takes is for durant to slightly reinjure and hes a 7 footer coming off the hardest injury for an athlete. And you know harden is due for a couple of weird po games when least expected and they are done..

    I knew he wasn’t a HOF player when Chuck Hayes absolutely massacred him every single time they matched up.

    Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.

    Who do you want on your team when making that Championship run...Iman Shumpert or Blake Griffin? Andre Roberson or Blake Griffin? Tyler Cook or Blake Griffin? That's what the Nets are looking at...

    I can see this experiment blowing up in the faces of the nets. I don’t have a good feeling (or maybe it’s just me hoping it doesn’t work out)

    Lol a vet minimum with no $ obligations can’t blow up in anyone’s face. If they are a problem you simply release them
