Sucks for Baron.

Sucks for Baron.

 

Sucks for Blake Griffin, I don't see Mo Williams throwing any sick alley-oops

[Real Deal]

Doesn't really matter. Bledsoe is in the Clips' future plans, and Mo Williams can hit open shots...he's just never open without LeBron on his team.

 

Plus, Moon is just another athletic player for the Clippers.

Clippers also traded unprotected first round pick, interesting.

Scott Howard-Cooper: Donald Sterling did not acquire the rights to Comic Sans font as part of the deal, NBA.com has learned.

Sam Amico: Would you take two top 10 picks and the trade exception (and Baron Davis' fat contract) for Mo and a guy you were gonna waive? I would.

Too much uncertainty in this year's draft. There are going to be a few players who will stay in school because of the CBA issues, and fears of a lockout.

 

A top five pick would be nice to have, still...but a top ten? Different story.

 

Thing is, the Clippers do this to get rid of Baron's $42 million that they owe him over the next three seasons. Mo Williams will be getting around $26 million, which is $16 million shaved off of their payroll.

 

LA could be planning to hunt down someone in free agency in a season or two. CP3, Howard, D-Will?

I believe LA will try to lure Deron Williams, everything I've read on twitter from Utah journalists has said "he's all about the money" and has always wanted "his". Whatever that means...

 

Can you imagine Williams and Griffin on the pick and roll?

 

Disgusting...

[ChosenOne]

Baron hasnt played hard for over a year and a half now, I dont understand why anyone would want him and his negative attitude. Cavs better have a very solid motivating staff lol.

Cavs better have a hit man hired to take out Baron Davis so they don't have to pay him that awful contract.

Blake Griffin hands down league MVP. Made Baron try again, then made him tradeable. No other player could pull that off. http://www.otrbasketball.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif K Bro's

LMAO @ Cleveland if this is true. Of all the drafts to stockpile picks for, they choose this one?

 

Brilliant move by LA (did I just say that?). They now put themselves in position to become the true power in LA for a long time.

 

CP3/Bledsoe

Gordon

(insert decent wing player here)

Blake Griffin

DeAndre Jordan

 

Scary to say the least.

I'd say Williams is more likely than CP3...

 

PG: Williams/Bledsoe

SG: Gordon

SF: Gomes (possibly...?)

PF: Griffin

C: Kaman/Jordan (depends who they decide to re-sign)

[Real Deal]

I wonder if the Clippers have another deal on the table somewhere.

Clippers cannot trade their 2012 Minnesota First Round Pick (unless they acquire an 11' or 12' first round pick) so this rules out a Mo Williams salary dump to a team like Indiana for Dunleavy or someone with a similar valued expiring deal.

 

I really think the Clippers will trade DeAndre Jordan tomorrow based on the need for so many teams, and the fact he's a restricted FA after this season and they already have Kaman making 10+ million per season the next two years.

Na, I truly think the Russian and Hova convince Deron to sign the extension this summer and be their star going forward.

 

You absolutely sign Jordan. He's got the potential to be a dominant force defensively with his athleticism. Think of him as Dwight Howard lite in a couple years.

Have the Clippers ever had a best trade?

Are you saying Jordan will be like Howard on offense and defense, or just defense?

 

Anyways, I think they'll keep Kaman because I think he is a better compliment to Griffin because Jordan has no offensive game at all besides dunking.

 

As opposed to Kaman who has a solid low post game, and a nice mid-range game.

[Real Deal]

Reports came out that the Clippers have been shopping Kaman for a while now, but after the way he started the season, his value has hit rock bottom, and the Clips are worried they'll lose one of their bigs for basically nothing in return.

 

They'll find a way to deal him, though. Bigs aren't tough to shop around...only when they are injured.

The Hornets traded Tyson Chandler to the Thunder while he was still injured, of course the deal was voided but anything can happen with big men.

Jordan's ceiling is too high. He's absolutely the guy you go with for the long term.

[Cleveland's Finest]

We get a top ten pick, and somehow got rid of Mo before he was in the final year of his contract?

 

I'm fine with this.

[*Swish*]

Bad trade for the Clippers in my opinion! They give up their first pick (even though it's a weak draft) and Baron Davis who has been playing way better these past months. Mo Williams is more of a scoring point guard than a passing point guard! He will have to learn how to pass more
