    WHY NOT US, WHYYYYYY.

    Olshey should have only one real connection with a star in this league and it should Be Blake, WHY NOT trying it.

    All I care about is that the trade happens prior to tomorrow night, so the Clippers have to face us without Blake OR whatever they get in return.

    Quiet deadline my ass.

    I’m guessing Tobias is part of the deal. Can’t imagine Drummond. But maybe?

    I imagine Tobias, Bradley, and Stanley Johnson would be the trade the Pistons are offering

    Harkless or Aminu would be more like who could be involved. Meyers simply doesn't have that kind of game.

    Ok, here you go:

    http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yd73u9ts

    Ok, I threw in Meyers, because wishful thinking, but Harkless or Aminu works, too. If they get Harris, the Clipps wouldn't want/need Harkless, so they'd probably prefer Aminu as their new stretch 4 to play next to Harris.

    In all seriousness, this is the kind of deal Neil needs to jump on. Being the third wheel in a 3-team trade may not net us the biggest name in the deal, but it can be a way to improve our roster without giving up one of our top three players. Aminu has been surprisingly good this year, but we have plenty of other guys who can play the 4. A 3-guard rotation of Dame, C.J. and Bradley just might give us the best backcourt in the league. Ok, maybe not quite as good as GSW, but close.

    That's an ugly package from Detroit for Blake

    They are offering Bradley, Harris, Marjanovic and 1st round pick for Blake? WTF, too much.

    Jerry West is going for LeBron in the sumer.

    This is exactly the kind of deal Neil needs to be in on. And yes just like i said above Harkless or Aminu make perfect sense.

    Doesn't make it any less obvious. Those are the players that have value that can be used to make this roster better.

    I'm trying to put myself in Clipper fans shoes (all 4 of them including Frankie Munoz), it must suck for them knowing their guy is on the block, from an objective point of view it's a good value trade for the Clippers but man the fan base wouldn't be happy.
