Blake is a talent that you don't trade unless you get another star in return. And that's something that is hard to get especially if teams think you are desperate. If I was the Clippers I would stand tight and maybe try to find a small forward next year and maybe a more athletic two guard (no diss to JJ whose pretty good) and see what happens. Blake at his best is a top 10-15 player and the Clippers before him were not a destination team. With Paul getting older you trade Blake now and wake up one day with a 35 year old CP3 and not future. While Blake would be like 31 and still in his prime conceivably.
