    Jesus Christ that’s random. What a weird trade. Hopefully this encourages other teams to go all ‘fuck it mode’ and we can find a way to benefit.

    Yeah, Who needs Blake Griffin when you have Noah Vonleh and Zach Collins.

    Clipps blowing it up. DeAndre Jordan is next, possibly Lou Williams, too. After they lost CP3, they never should have given Blake that huge contract. Losing CP3 was the first domino to fall. After that, they should have just gone balls deep on the rebuilding effort. They couldn't compete with GSW, HOU, SAS or OKC when they had CP3. Did they think they were going to be a top 4 team in the West without him?

    What is Neil doing? Seriously... a player of that caliber at a position of need becomes available and we sit on the sidelines again. I sick of defending this clown Neil Olshey! This signals to me he is not even entertaining trading CJ... very disappointing... we are probably looking at status quo.

    So, you want to tie up over $150 million and 4.5 years for a guy who has missed 100 games over the last 3.5 seasons and has been injured in the first round of the playoffs the last two years?

    Somehow, I'm not surprised by this.

    Did we want him? Truly? Blake when healthy is a weapon, sure - but his health has not been reliable.

    Well, given Blake's injury history, we'd still be without a player at that position of need for about 30 games a year and in the playoffs.
