if the clips want both pierce and garnett its hard to make slaries work, also i heard/ read (weeks ago) that cp3 and griffin don't get along the greatest and that he didn't like his attitude. And the clips are aiming to please cp3 Thats why i have griffin leaving, yes its not the greatest for clips but they look like this:
cp3, jamal crawford, pierce, jason smith, KG
plus they have some money to spend on some free agents i believe, with like odom's 8 million coming off the books and billups could return for much cheaper than his 4 million. resign billups for a mil, and you have 13 million to sign some role players and try winning next year and after that kg and pierce off the books and the clips have ton of money too spend in a good FA class
Plus blake griffin is way overrated IMO too 1 dimensional for my tastes, BUT he does have a lot of star power
