    CJ and a first would probably have got it done but that makes no sense on our end. I want us to get involved as much as the next guy but I don’t see how we could have offered a package, worth it for us, that would have beat what Detroit offered.

    Neil’s got to shop CJ at the deadline if for nothing more than to see what options we have. I’m sick of the CJ is off limits BS.

    I can’t believe it. Detroit would’ve easily said yes to our Harkless, Meyers package.

    P.S. we'd better fucking beat the Clippers tomorrow night. They won't have Blake and the new guys might not even play yet. Even, if they do, they won't be familiar with each other or the Clippers' playbook.

    Lillard

    Aminu
    Griffin
    Nurkic

    Way better than the McLillard experiment.

    I think Detroit would be perfect for Blake. If there is a team that can put up with his pouting and punching out employees, its them.

    And in the playoffs when Blake is injured:

    Lillard
    Connaughton
    Turner
    Aminu
    Nurk

    Sorry, not feeling it.

    Doesn't everyone?

    But then we wont have a book on them either and that has to account for something right?

    Sometimes a scrappy unknown can be a real pill

    Blake is making $171 million, right? Isn't that enough to buy all of downtown Detroit?

    Detroit wants to make the playoffs and the Clippers want to rebuild / clear money for 2019 (which is one reason why we weren't involved).

    I like the deal for the Clippers. It'll be hard to get off of Gallo before 2019 deadline, but he'll more than likely be their only big money contract left on the books.

    You guys seem to forget that Ballmer tried to steal Paul Allen's Microsoft stock when PA was sick with cancer. I doubt these two could agree on the weather.

    Nope. Jazz are going to come back and make it imo. But that also depends on what they do (if anything) at the deadline.

    I really, really like that deal for the Clippers.

    I also really, really dislike Blake Griffin.
