What are the possibilities of acquiring both all-stars?
Westbrook is from UCLA, you don't think he wouldn't want to come back to play with Griffin??
Howard wants to be in a big market, LA isn't a bad place to start(sarcasim obviously)
The Clipps could offer DeAndre and Kaman for Howard(or please come up with another possible trade to get him here)
5.Howard
4.Griffin
3.Aminu
2.Eric
1.Russell
Wouldn't be bad....

Re: Westbrook and Howard??
I could see us putting together a decent package to offer for Howard, but not sure how we would get Russell Westbrook. He'll be a RFA next summer and OKC will definitely match. If we acquired Howard, then Gordon and Griffin would both need to get re-signed/extended (next summer and the year after). Besides, Griffin and Howard would just be 2 more stars that he wouldn't want to pass the ball to.

Also, we don't need to cement the Clippers into the history books as the worst free throw shooting team ever.
Joking aside, I don't think the Center position is one the Clippers need to focus on at all. Similarly, I just don't see Westbrook leaving OKC anytime soon if ever. I mean they just made it to the Western Conference Finals and they're still improving. And I just don't see how they can trade away an all star in
Westbrook. I think Harden would be more realistic.
I read a fan post somewhere - can't remember - and the guy brought up the idea of Foye and Cook for Hedo. I thought it was an interesting trade and plausible.

Re: Westbrook and Howard??
We need a point guard who is good at distributing, and a shooting forward who knows how to shoot. I wouldn't want any other thing that comes at a high price to be honest.
We have our center for many years and I wouldn't even want Howard unless he came on free agency or in a steal of a trade. Yes he is one of the two best players in league but he is in a win now mode, and we won't be there for a few years at least, not even with him on the team. And I wouldn't want to dismantle our team to acquire him (which is definitely what the team who gets him is gonna have to do).
Westbrook is a good player, but I don't think he's a good fit for our team and I wouldn't give too much to get him either.

Why not bring in James instead of Aminu at the SF? Howard, Griffin and James would be a good frontcourt if you back them up with the right guys.

Why do people keep assuming Dwight wants to go to a big market. not once did that come out of his mouth.

Blake Griffin, Gordon, and draft picks and we can maybe work something out.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
