OT: Blake griffin out for 2 months sprained mcl per wojo

An MRI revealed no structural damage to Blake Griffin's left knee, but the MCL sprain could cost him up to two months on the sidelines, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
MCL sprains are no joke, and with the Clippers currently sitting on a 7-11 record, they're probably in no rush to bring Griffin back to the court with his long-term health being their primary concern. Lou Williams and Austin Rivers figure to dominate the offense until Danilo Gallinari gets back, and Montrezl Harrell might be L.A.'s starting four-man moving forward. Griffin's absence will be filled by a committee approach, with guys like Sam Dekker, Wes Johnson and Willie Reed all being asked to step up, and perhaps this will finally get DeAndre Jordan going. Griffin is going to be tough to hang on to in leagues that don't offer an IR-spot.

I don't understand why people hate Lance so much. His contract and role are great for us.

I'd look package CLee & KOQ for a very good SF or a great pick.

You joking? He makes $6.6m. That's about $7m more than he's worth.

This is a blessing for us. If Blake misses the 2 full months and they continue to spiral downhill it increases the chances we will have TWO early 2nd round picks in the 2018 draft. The Chicago Bulls pick and either our own 2nd or the Clippers pick (whichever is less favorable). Long story short, if we continue to lose on the road and the Clips lose a ton with Blake out we end up getting another good early 2nd in addition to the Chicago pick regardless.

We could potentially walk out of draft night with a haul something like this:

13th Pick - Mikal Bridges
32nd Pick - Isaac Bonga
38th Pick - Kostas Antetokounmpo

PG: Ntilikina | Bonga
SG: Hardaway Jr | Dotson
SF: Bridges | McDermott
PF: Porzingis | Antegokounmpo
C: Kanter | Hernangozmez
