Blake at Detroit - making Clips front office look smart

[SK21209]

The Jazz could maybe use a backup 4/5 with more size than Bojan/Niang and more stretch ability than Favors. The Celtics also desperately need someone who can score a bit other than Brown and Tatum. Other than that, I really don't see a fit for him among the contending teams.

I object to this thread on the grounds that this was a smart deal the day it was done (check my record in this group - I said it the day it happened) and has been a smart deal since that day.

There is nothing about today that makes the deal more or less smart than the day he was traded. The way he looks now isn't making anybody look smart. They already looked smart on the day of the deal.

Yeah I think the pretty clear consensus in our board was that it was a good move, once you got over the emotional aspect of trading away a historic Clipper. I never worry about what happens after the trade, I always wish our guys well when they go play for new teams, especially Blake.

I'd much rather him still be dominating in the East than where he's at today.

LOL. I'll say after a few days.

There were a few people that wanted to team to suck and watch him rather than build it anew. No disrespect to anyone here. I get it. But yes, after a brief moment, I think everybody came back down to earth on this trade.

NBA-TV just said Blake hasn't had a dunk since 2019. wtf

He missed most of last season, played his last game 12/28/19 and he hasn't dunked this season, so yea, makes sense.

that's insane. That just mean he is not even going for a layup.
