    So this means Lillard was right.

    Trade Machine should have player ages. Clips have a lot of rotation players 28 or older.
    Harris is 25. Bradley just turned 27. Griffin was 28.

    So, they got younger, and added 2 draft picks too. It'll be interesting to see if they re-sign Bradley in the offseason.

    Any interest in...
    Teodosic, Jordan, Gallo, Lou Williams, Wesley Johnson, Pat Bev.?

    Another thing bout the clippers; they got jerry west. He’ll probably find a way to get Lebron and George.

    Yeah, that was my answer. LAC should be getting those players in any trade for blake. Not us. That's silly.

    I think that’s his plan. If they didn’t have the Gallinari and DJ contracts they could have made a pitch to Boogie PG and Lebron if someone was willing to take a pay cut. They still might try.

    What’s their cap situation looking like after this deal and assuming Jordan opts out/gets dumped?

    I’d like to trade CJ for Avery Bradley and Tobias Harris.

    Hopefully we could get rid of Meyers in the deal. Something something salary cap.

    The two can only be traded again by themselves. Not in a package. And for the next 60 days. But i would have loved this deal!

    There was no way we could have got into this deal and got any of the pieces that have been traded with a package of Evan Turner and Meyers Leonard, no matter how many picks we attached.

    I think they should the additional 1sts from us instead of those guys. Bradley likely leaves so you're stuck with Harris vs. Two/Three POR 1sts and bad contracts.

    The value of our picks is not that great, really. They are bound to be between 11 and 20 and that's not very good and certainly worse than Tobias Harris is.

    Similar to last Summer when people thought no. 15, no. 20 and no. 26 was better than Oladipo and Sabonis.

    Clippers are not looking to tank right now, therefore it's better to have Harris than a mid-first pick.

    So if Tobias Harris isn't worth 3 picks between 11 and 20, than what is he worth?

    You were talking about 2018 and 2020 firsts, and not just for Harris alone but also for offloading one of our terrible deals. To offload a terrible deal you need to offer one 1st round pick, Harris is worth more than a mid-first.
