Welcome Blake Griffin

What's Will Bynum up to these days? Can we bring him back to throw lobs to Blake and Andre?

Thing we were really missing was a guy to give the ball to in the clutch and we have seen Tobias constantly shy away from it... last few weeks has been frustrating. I don't think Bradley was happy enough here to resign anyways so overall its a decent move for us with the potential to be great. Its downside is low because worst case you can always move Blake for an expiring contract and a pick most likely unless he really gets injured.

Somewhere Blake is smashing his knee with a hammer..... :lol:

I'm skeptical big time. Seems pretty rich for me. We'll see how it goes.

Master of Panic strikes again with The win now move. He always chooses the injury prone vet when he gets the chance.

But will he win now?

At least he gets some butts back in the seats.

I wonder if he’ll pick up his option? :lol:

I thought that contract was terrible when he signed it. Nothing has changed in that regard......

R. Jackson?/I. Smith
L. Kennard?/L. Galloway
S. Johnson?/R. Bullock
B. Griffin/A. Tolliver/H. Ellenson
A. Drummond/E. Moreland

Personally, I don't think this is the last move SVG makes, but this is probably the last big move this year.

Ha, He's already requested Tanya Harding's contact info

Lots of pros and cons to this big move.

Bottom line, tho, is that I will watch games again.

Will this really bring more people to the arena? Does the average Pistons fan really care about Blake Griffin?

With AD playing center now, who is hands down better than Blake?

Giannis, Durant (plays the 4 half the time or more), Davis has played the 4 all year, Porzingis has a case with what he brings on defense.

Well he can't have #32, so what # does Blake go with?

Does he go back to his college #23?

Does he make a deal with Kennard for #5?

Congrats guys! A high risk, high reward move but SVG probably thought this team isn't going anywhere with Tobias and Avery. At least now you have a legit star, your best offensive talent since probably Rip(?), and easily the best frontcourt in the East. Good luck!

Blake will most likely be our secondary ball handler and our clutch scorer. This only helps Reggie. God I hope he comes back healthy!
