Lowe Bomb Thread - #1: Uncle Jeff to Clippers

[PhoSita]

I can't wait to see the following lineup:

Stephenson - TA - Barnes - Randolph - Andersen


Make it happen Joerger!  Just for a quarter!  Come on!

[fairweatherfan]

Green deal is for Lance AND a protected 1st, reports Spears.

Doc.   

Doc as GM is really something to appreciate.  From a safe distance.

Lance Stephenson is horrible and Doc just got rid of the last year of his deal. Great trade for LAC.

Stephenson's last year is a team option.  Don't know if any of it is guaranteed, but I don't think so.

Man, Lance turned down $44 million over 5 years to get $18 over two and will be lucky to get over the vet min this offseason even with the cap exploding.  What a terrible miscalculation.

[PhoSita]

Woof.

[Who]

Nice pickup for the Clippers. They needed more size and athleticism on the wing. Jeff Green will be a good addition to their team.

[Lucky17]

Woof.

So that's Bledsoe, Hawes, Barnes, two 1sts, and filler for Redick, Austin, and Jeff Green?

Hmmmm.

[86MaxwellSmart]

There goes Paul Pierce's minutes.....well, Green stinks and PP is finished.

[SHAQATTACK]

Griz crumbling before our eyes.

[Endless Paradise]

Oh, good, now we get to watch pundits wax poetic about how Green really takes the Clippers over the top.

He won't take them over the top, but while Blake is out, he'll definitely be an upgrade in the starting lineup for them.

I really like this trade for the Clippers.

This sets them up for an interesting match up with GS they will be able to throw a nice small ball unit on the court to counter the Warriors.

Curry             ----   Paul
Thompson     ----   Redick
IG                  ----   Green
Barnes          ----   Pierce
Green           ----   Griffin

Instead of losing by 15 they now lose by 12.

Great trade by the Clippers.

Got away from Lance while addressing a need in their SF spot, and their small ball lineup matching up.

Good job, Doc.

[mctyson]

Underrated move by Clips.  Green is not an analytics all-star but the guy can defend 3 positions and hang with the best wings in the league.  Addition by subtraction with Stephenson leaving and they had to give up a completely-lottery protected 1st.  That will be in the mid-20's ie no different than an early 2nd.

Green at the 4 is a good look for them.

[ssspence]

Lance Stephenson for Jeff Green?  Weird.

Not really.

Stephenson = mental midget. They wanted him and Josh Smith outta that locker room no matter what.

Doc betting on Green having one or two of his nutty playoff games in a contract year.

I agree. Doc has made some bad moves, but this one's actually solid. Jeff has been on an upswing as of late too. Last 10 games: 17.9 pts 50% shooting, 4.8 boards, and a steal in about 30 mins.
