Blake Griffin on His Way Out

[footey]

He is awful.

He is awful.

Lol! I don't disagree. I started the thread just to speculate where he might end up, not to envision the broken down version of Blake on the Celtics.

[Moranis]

If he really wants out, he should just give up the players option and let them buy him out for the rest of this year.  I think the Pistons would do that to be rid of that massive salary next year.

He could be the broken down bookend to when we had Dominic!

[Birdman]

I think he be a good fit with Dallas

If he declined his player option and gets bought out I would actually take a look at him. He's toasted, totally, but we are dying for some high-post play-making.

Otherwise, I could see him going to Phoenix and reuniting with CP3

Did they ever reconcile? I thought Blake hated Paul .. and Paul doubted Blake’s BBIQ

I think I would do Blake for kemba if they gave us a 1st round draft pick of decent young player.  1 less year of kemba's deal.  Maybe blake and bey for kemba and a second...something like that.

There is a 0% chance the Pistons trade Bey.

I’ve got no idea, just think Blake starting ahead of Kaminsky would be a good move for both.

Could see him going to Brooklyn and making them even worse defensively!

[Uncle_Stingfinger]

If he’s cheap, how could he hurt this current roster of stiffs we have?    Honestly tho,  he seems just to be playing out the contract

I dont see any way he could turn down the player option of 40! Million.   Thats just too much money.  Wow.

[Big333223]

I don’t know what would have to happen to get him in Boston but I actually think he’d slot in nicely as a guy with size who can shoot now (or can he?).

He’d be the 4th or 5th best player on the team which is pretty good.

[Birdman]

Just too much money for Griffin

[byennie]

I wouldn't mind taking a flyer for the minimum, but where is the idea coming from that this is our big that can shoot? He's a career 33% 3PT and 70% FT shooter who hasn't been able to hit a shot in 2 years (36% FG). If anything, I like that he can pass and might look better on a new team coming off the bench against backups.

I cant really see any realistic trade partners for Detroit.
The closest to a realistic trade I could come up with is:
Detroit:
out - Blake, Doumboya, Delon Wright
in - Will Barton, G. Harris, Aminu

Orlando:
out - Fournier, Gordon, Aminu
in - Blake, Doumboya, Delon Wright + Denver's FRP(s)

Denver:
out - Will Barton, G. Harris + FRP(s)
in - Fournier, Gordon

Magic get a decent point guard as they have none healthy and reliable plus some picks for their leaving players but matching salary is a bit high for next year.
Detroit saves a little $$ plus they might trade the incoming players for something.
Denver gets a good shooter (that they developed) plus a great defender to throw at Lebron but at the cost of multiple picks?? .....
