| So the Bucks give up two duds that won't be able to survive in today's NBA and get back Julius? Yeah I call (bleep) on that. |

I was just thinking yesterday, I miss 2.0's crazy trade/FA speculation.
Classic example of, "be careful what you wish for".
The best think CKs trade rumor has going for it is, nobody would expect it. Seems completely out of the blue, which is Mitch's MO.
But CK could make up a Lebron trade, and I could say the same thing.
Long story short, don't hold your breath.

Doubt the Clips would trade Blake in-city to the Lakers, but including salary fillers, would anyone consider Randle/JC for Blake?
I'm on the fence about that, even though I'm not a fan of Blake, I recognize his game is legit.

The trade would have worked from the salaries involved POV by very simply dropping Nick from the trade.
It wouldn't have required a Larry Coon level CBA expert to have figured that out.
Thus it was very sketchy that the Front Offices involved would still be trying to iron out the details. |

Not an issue of talent b/c I do think Blake's talent is greater than that package. Just from a chemistry/leadership standpoint.

We'd need to have an endless line of assistant equipment managers after they're punched out by him.

This is not his first time getting involved in altercations.
The fact he broke his hand while coming off an injury is a big red flag, given the fact the Clippers are a playoff team.

It is just a momentary diversion and it will pass soon enough.
At the moment, there is a dearth of trade news and thus the Blake talk is just killing some time until something concrete comes along. |

Really?...Really?? In a heartbeat.
I don't think this trade makes us any better at all. We have a mini Griffin in Randle. Clarkson is a keeper (valuable role player).
This is Randles first season and we are giving up on him? How many seasons has Griffin played before he's playing consistent basketball like this? Answer that question for me.
I say we don't break up this young core of Russell, Randle, and Clarkson. They deserve a chance by themselves next year.
Hopefully we can get Simmons. I like the position this team is in currently.
Before you google that. Griffin was drafted in 2009. Do the math, and give these kids a chance. You don't want to be kicking yourself 2 years down the line when Griffin's explosiveness is gone.

Was reading an article on the five trades the Lakers should consider earlier today two of which I would do plus one with Detroit that was not included.
The ones I would proceed with are Hibbert for Noah and Kelly for a pick from Philly. The one I would not do or treat as a back plan is Lou and Bass for Oubre, Humphries ans Blair.
Instead of the latter I would call Detroit and offer Bass and Lou plus our second rounder for Jennings, Anthony and their first rounder. Would then involve Portland with their huge cap space and give them Jennings and Anthony for two second rounders (similar to the Peeler/Lynch trade, remember). I would let them give us Kaman too with whom I would negotiate a buyout right away.
Now, we'd have:
Russell Huertas
Clarkson Young
Bryant Brown MWP
Nance Randle
Black Sacre
Would then sign Upshaw and see how he carries himself as an NBA player and mybe consider picking up Wroten.
And, I would insist on The Chicago deal in order to make the Bulls strong enough to beat the Cavs, as I do not want that wannabe GOAT LeBron to ever sniff a title again. |

Blake is more talented than them, but I do have questions about his character and whether he's someone we can rely on down the road.
It's a shame b/c he was really a beast last season.

I'm glad you then proposed flipping Jennings and Anthony for picks. The Lakers are a class organization and we need to stop getting players like nick Young, Lou, and Sacre. Jennings is one of those guys also. Lou and Nick can shoot lights out, but they are not winners.
I'm sure you know, there are guys who just put up points and then there are those who win games.
* I like Upshaw as well. I say we go Upshaw/Randle/Simmons or Ingram/Clarkson/Russell starting lineup next year with Nance/Black/Brown off the bench.

I think I would stick with Oubre. Was not big on him at Kansas, but have been impressed the few times I have seen him this year. How old is he, 19? I don't think they give him up. |

No doubt we get better instantly. But its for the short term. Griffin relies on athleticism and that'll be gone 2 years down the line.
If you think we can win in the next two years with him then sure go all out for him. The thing is I don't think he is a winner.
Do you risk breaking our young core up for this big question mark that is Blake Griffin? |
