Blake Griffin- buyout candidate

Drummond is probably the most gettable big on the market and Cleveland is tanking....they would trade for youth...maybe a Nas type player and Collins or Giles..I'm just not a Drummond fan at all...and he's Robin Lopez slow from what I've seen

 

He looked really slow the other night.

 

In the video, Griffin shoots with his wrists because his arms aren't flexible.

While watching, I compared Drummond to James Donaldson, who was monstrously big.

 

No

 

good comparison.

 

Damn you're right. I watched some highlights (lowlights) from some of his games this year and he's definitely hobbled and has zero lift. He looked like Zebo with no game... Sad to see since he was such a human highlight film in his career... :-(

 

Colon polyps.

 

I’m pretty sure Detroit isn’t expecting to trade him. This would be a buyout situation and then a team can sign Griffin for the vet minimum based on his years in the league.

Any GM who trades for him should be fired on the spot. He’s washed.

 

I can't believe Detroit would consider a buyout this year and eat the $62 million remaining on his deal, over $75 million would count towards the salary cap too. That's a pretty tough pill to swallow.

 

Any trade for him would likely be cap related, not for on court purposes. For example, something like Griffin for John Wall for Houston to get out of paying Wall over $47 million in two years.

Also, OKC has been extremely willing to take on salary for draft pick compensation. Griffin would help them tank and they could match his salary fairly easily with Horford and filler. Detroit would save money.

 

How would Detroit save money, Horford has one more year of control than Griffin.

 

One thing I noticed from the video I posted is "where he is playing" - he's spending a lot of time on the wrong side of the 3 point line.

 

He makes less this year and next year and then has a partially guaranteed the following year.

 

Neither at this point, the only thing they ad is name they are shells of their old selves.

sorry responding to Blake or Love

 

Rather have LA.

 

He moves like Vlad Stepania now and I’m not exaggerating!

He’s also more of a defensive liability than Enes now. LA’s decline came fast and furious.

 

After i read this post i decided to go look because i honestly didn't really know?
Aldridge has dropped drastically this season. In just about every category. He is starting and he has started 18 of their 27 games. The other games he didn't play. Not sure about injury?
He is only getting about 26 mins a game this year as opposed to 33 last year. So there is some of the reason the number are down.
Still i feel if you were to choose one of the three Griffin, Love or Aldridge then LMA would probably be the best fit and most productive.

 

Apparently Steve DeWald of BlazersEdge didn't watch the video I posted in this thread...

It's the same problem with Drummond. People who don't watch them play think they're still good.

 

fun fact. Dame has played nearly 1500 more minutes in his career (reg season + playoffs) than Blake, even if he was drafted 3 yrs later.
