    Yeah other than Blake is an asshole, a pathetic leader who will make 38 mil by the time is contract is up, is injury prone, and has punched a teammate in the face in a bar fight.....it is the exact same scenario.

    While griffin is good he is also a very often injured big man who has 4 years 140m left on his deal AFTER this year. You think were fucked for flexability now, imagine how we would be if we had Blake and no they woulnd't have taken back Meyers/ET for him.

    Not necessarily. Klohe is at all of Tristan Thompson's home games. If she'll travel to Cleveland, Kendall will go to Detroit.

    Exactly. Neither team will seriously contend the way they are constructed.

    Nice means shit.

    Yeah but Cavs games are an event because of Lebron. What’s at a pistons game?

    Can't happen:

    If you acquire a player in a trade, you may trade that player straight up for another player immediately. If you wish to package that player with another and make a trade, you must wait 60 days.

    60 days is about 50 days too late.

    I am surprised that Blake didn't have a no-trade clause. At least LAC was smart enough not to give him that. Even though they weren't smart enough not to overpay him. Maybe he wanted a no-trade clause but they upped their offer to him to compensate for not giving him what he wanted.
