Woj: Celtics, Clippers deep in talks on blockbuster deal

[Lucky_Lefty]

Thought the rumor was Doc, KG & Bradley to LAC for Butler, Bledsoe, Jordan and a pick

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Blake for Dwight? HELL YES!!!!!

Also heard Blake an Bledsoe in a S&T for d12 as well. Fluck all these rumors. July just needs to get here so all this shyt can go down

 

[gho3st]

Lakers will learn the hard way when dwight bounces on em

as much as Dwight claims he wants to win, he aint about to leave LA for HOU. He too soft for that.

 

[SwagKingKong]

If Clippers somehow find a way to keep Bledsoe, and move him with Griffin for Howard it wouldn't even be fair

Howard and KG would anchor the best defense this league has seen... ever? Especially with Doc as a coach and no other defensive liabilities on board.

Whats the difference between Bradley and Bledsoe?

I think the Clips would wanna keep Deandre Jordan even if they got KG

But the Celtics on the other hand need a center in return if they do trade KG

Garnetts still one of the best bigs in the league but I dont think Blake and KG is a good enough starting PF and C combo defensively to get them to where they wanna go. It'd help to still have Jordan coming off the bench

Im not sure if Pierce is even still better then Butler. Pierce did have to handle the ball alot against the Knicks in the 1st round, im sure he'd look better playing off a PG. But his defense really slid last year, I still think CP3 would be best off leaving the Clippers if he wants to win a championship

Bledsoe is much better offensively and is a PG while Bradley can play both just as well but is better off the ball as a SG. Basically, Bledsoe would be a major trade asset or Rondo will be one then. That's why it's important for Ainge to get Bledsoe. Also LAC wants to keep Bledsoe so they can trade him to Orlando for Afflafo and start

CP3
Afflalo
Butler
Griff
KG

So he is a major trade piece for Boston and LAC but if it depends on LA breaking him off, the trade is likely off. I don't see this one going down. Doc will likely retire.

No deal involving Kevin Garnett is a blockbuster. Trading for Garnett is stupid as hell

cp3 in doc system

butler is a spot up shooter now.All he does is shoot 3's

An old pierce is way better than caron butler especially if he has reduced minutes

I have alotta respect for Pierce even as a Knicks fan. Hes the most underrated player of the past 15 years without question

I just thought he was really starting to fall off last year (or this year, i guess). Hes become very inconsistent and has some horrible shooting nights.

But your probably right though, its more about how Butler is then how much Pierce has fallen off.

 

[*Hulks Up*]

Griffin in the trade would be extremely fukking stupid for LAC. why would trade a superstar entering his prime for 2 extremely old ones?

First off let me say I C/S, but for arguments sake that trade is for an overrated superstar that CP3 made look better. And what is Blake's prime anyway? He's too nice of a guy according to Billups, doesn't play defense, flops and is limited offensively. Actually it's his offense limitations that frustrate CP3 who likes to drive the lane and score or create but can't because Blake's man is there knowing CP3 isn't passing to him in fear of a brick or hack a Blake, he can't operate like he should.

Sources told ESPN.com the Clippers are concurrently weighing the prospect of offering star forward Blake Griffin in tandem with prized young guard Eric Bledsoe to the Los Angeles Lakers in a sign-and-trade pitch to land Dwight Howard after July 1.


the Clippers want to keep open the option that they could package Bledsoe with Griffin in a sign-and-trade offer for Howard after the Lakers' center becomes a free agent on July 1. ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard reported Friday that Howard and Clippers star Chris Paul have been in consistent contact in recent weeks in hopes of landing on the same team via free agency.
