I'm all set with Blake Griffin.

He really feel off a cliff the last few seasons.

He had those LOB city days in LA for a couple years but since being signed to that new contract, he's been on the decline

The fact that Doc traded him should tell you everything.

Personally, I don't see him garnering much interest.

Kind of better off seeing what Gordon wants to do before we pursue any trades. If Gordon feels he wants to go elsewhere and opt out then I feel that's when you look for a PF.

I don't think Hayward/Smart for Griffin makes the C's better.

I agree, it's an overpay. The Pistons should be sweetening the deal to take on Griffen's contract.

Last year actually seemed like one of his better seasons.

+ 1.  .....Griffin is not more important than Smart plus Hayward .   He is injured alot too.  He dhave to,play like Lebron to put up numbers that fill Hayward Smart stats

There’s no fit there.  This trade makes us thinner and worse.

Last year actually seemed like one of his better seasons.

He actually went from being the prototypical athletic big that can only dunk, pass, and occasionally shoot the mid range to being a decent post up big that can create at the top of the key, and actually shoot the 3. He basically modeled his game to fit today's NBA, which is smart. But that being said, Griffin isn't the same as he used to be, and lost a lot of his speed/vertical. I think last year's will probably be one of his best seasons, I don't see him replicating those numbers at all.

If we didn’t have to match salaries, I’d gladly take him.  Offensively he could fit like a more versatile Horford.

But, adding him but subtracting Smart and Hayward would kill us.

Well I'm not against Blake Griffin, but I'm also wary of his contract.

This is the crazy all in move if Danny thinks this team could challenge for the tittle this year. Seems like a risky move...

I just vomited a little in my mouth.  That trade absolutely makes the Celtics worse; and why did the Celtics have to give up so much more than the other teams in their scenarios?

Rank the trade packages?

Oubre has been good this season, but not that good. Johnson is a guy, and that's about it.

Williams and MKG have been largely ineffective this season. Bacon is fine, but can you rely on him as a scorer?

Hardaway, Lee, and Brunson is a good package. Good shooter, (washed up) wing, and a young defensive (backup) point guard. I don't think the Mavs do this. They need guys who can finish, not guys who take the ball from Doncic.

Whiteside, Simmons, and a 1st is a good trade for both teams. Detroit gets a dynamic young prospect and a first.

The Celtics give up what??? Defensive All-NBA player and a fringe all-star?? Seriously?

One of these is not like the others.

I'd rather have Drummond than Griffin.

I agree, if Kennard was coming back with Griffin then I think it makes a lot more sense for the C's.  I'm still not sure I'd do it, but I wouldn't immediately reject it laughing either.
