Stephen A. Smith of ESPN reports that the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics could execute a trade of Blake Griffin, Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler for Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.


"Absurd," said one source from the Celtics to Greg Dickerson of Comcast in response to the story.


Smith also reports that Doc Rivers could go with Pierce and Garnett to the Clippers.


"It is already being talked about in NBA circles," said Smith. 


Smith wouldn't answer definitively if it is actually being discussed between the two teams.

The rumor makes no sense for the Clippers. Sounds like SAS is just looking for attention.

Something like this seems a lot more likely.

Stephen A. Smith considers himself "NBA circles" now?

Rumor? I never even heard the rumor that is deemed absurd.
I'd LOVE to see it done though.

I take everything I hear on that show with a grain of salt.

Who trades a young star for veterans considering retirement ?

They would trade Bledsoe but Griffin seems totally unlikely.
