    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">ESPN - The Clippers are getting plenty of low-post production from Elton Brand and Chris Kaman and thus have targeted Minnesota's Eddie Griffin -- a big man who prefers the perimeter -- as an ideal catch before the Feb. 23 trading deadline.

    L.A. is offering Chris Wilcox, according to NBA front-office sources, but the Wolves have resisted, even though Griffin is in and out of coach Dwane Casey's rotation.</div>

    This deal makes zero sense for either team.

    Given the Clippers history with injuries, having Chris Wilcox is a luxury they need. He can back up either the 4 or 5 incase Brand or Kaman get injured, or start wearing down. The last thing they need is a perimeter shooting bigman.

    For the TWolves, KG loves playing with Eddie Griffin. The latest complaint out of KG's mouth was the lack of chemistry this team has because of the constant roster changes. Another change moving a player KG actually likes playing with is a huge mistake. Look at the drop in KGs game after the TWolves moved Cassell and Sprewell. Now they want to move the one player he endorses.

    Given the way they mess around with Eddie, KG's opinion obviously isn't that important to them.
