Also worth noting is deal will only go through if Blake picks up his player option for next year..

What's the point in trading for Bradley? I know Doc likes him but they won't have a decent SF if the trade goes through and I doubt Redick can play there.

I always thought Blake would be the most likely superstar to trade for given when he was out of the LAC lineup, the Clippers played better without him. Also, I didn't think he would be long for that team after punching that guy in the face.

If we could trade the 2018 pick and matching salary and a couple of young guys for him, you have to do it and try to get him to sign an extension

It doesn't have to be their last move.  Maybe they'd trade for Gay?

Doesn't seem likely.

If DA pulls off Blake for a Brooklyn pick and Bradley he will have heisted Doc. I wouldn't give up both picks but one and a combo of Bradley, Crowder or Smart you win the deal. Hands down.

Except we only get one guaranteed year of Blake Griffin. Since he's not going to be enough to win the title, if we can't resign him next year, we've lost a couple of really nice pieces.

Then I don't think the deal happens without Blake picking up that extra year. It only make sense for the Celts to insist upon this happening. How excited would you be for Blake Griffin to be a Celtic? I would be thrilled. Now we just need some stud shooters around him such as Reddick.

Again, he traded a first for Jeff Green. Doc has his binky players.

Of course that's true. The following 3-team trade could work:
Celtics: Griffin.
Kings: Amir Johnson (maybe some picks too).
Clippers: Bradley and Gay

Obviously I don't know how desperate the Kings are to dump Gay as it could affect their asking price.

I would HIGHLY prefer Cousins to Griffin.

It makes no sense why Cousins wouldn't be available. They have very little chance of even making the playoffs this year, let alone contend any time soon, and the longer they hold onto Cousins the less valuable he gets in return. They could legitimately jumpstart their rebuild with good pieces and picks to build around. Even a package of Amir, Smart, Brown, and the 2017 pick for Cousins and Collisin/Mcelmore would give them one of the brightest young cores in the league with Smart, Brown, WCS, Skal, an almost sure fire top-3 pick in 2017 and another probable mid-lottery pick with their own pick or the Philly swap.

DA is capable of heisting Doc. 2nd rounder and Jonas Jerebko for Blake.

The owner supposedly makes the decisions in the organization. If he wants to keep Cousins then he'll stay even though they might not make the playoffs this year.

why give up so much, just a 2050 second rounder should be enough

and

I could definitely see a Griffin trade happening.  Ainge with years of pressure and the desire to get a deal done for a star.  Horford got the wheels rolling and now Danny may be in contact with Doc, a guy he's worked with for years and can easily talk to.  Doc knows some of our players and probably values them a shade more than the rest of the league.  I'd rather have Cousins but if the price is right I can see a Griffin deal going down.
