    Imagine being Blake. You just committed to a franchise, and get the LA lifestyle. Now go and enjoy Detroit.

    Yeah, Tobias Harris isn't going to sell nearly as many season tickets as Blake Griffin. Especially in LA.

    I mean, from a pure basketball fit... he'd fit very well in Detroit.

    As much as a douchebag as Blake is, when healthy, him and Drummond would probably be the best big man combo in the league. It's basically like pairing him with a younger, better, higher scoring version of DeAndre Jordan. It would definitely get them back in the playoff hunt in the East.

    If you could get Blake for that package then you would certainly be on to something.

    The high low action they will have offensively will be efficient.

    The next question is, where does DJ end up?

    This will hurt the Clippers in FA imho. What star player wants to sign there only for them to get dealt within a year?

    "The Clippers and Pistons have agreed on a deal to trade Blake Griffin for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, a first-round and a second-round draft pick, league sources tell ESPN."

    "Clippers are includig Brice Johnson and Willie Reed in the trade, league sources tell ESPN."

    Damn! Didn't want Blake, but would have loved to get Avery Bradley.
