Its from their Contributors Network--basically Yahoo's Fanpost.

Not bad, but uh, it's not really a news article--it's an op-ed.

I think the guy makes a good point. KG and Pierce would've been a great fit on that team IMO.

1. kg didnt want to go there unless doc went.
2. pierce was no sure thing to go, making kg less likely to accept any deal.
3. the nets with kg and pierce are better than the clips with kg and pierce.

3. the nets with kg and pierce are better than the clips with kg and pierce.

based on the bench only which wasn't filled out at the time of the rumors
CP3 > Deron
Anyone < JJ
PP = PP
KG/Blake > KG/Lopez

the starting lineup for LA would be better but their bench is meh.  Brooklyn does have the advantage of having a quality starter at every position even if the starter isn't as good as the one on the Clips.  The bench has filled out pretty nicely for them too.  Not too sure LA would have landed that good a bench if that trade (and the PP waiver) went through.
