Blake Griffen might be on the Trade block 

Post#1 » by TKainZero » Tue Feb 2, 2016 8:31 pm

With several trade stories about Blake Griffen out there, it would really be smart for the Magic to try and make a move to get a big time star.

Do the magic have the pieces to match the talent of Blake?
I think they would need to pull a 3rd team in to help send some talent to the clippers, while the Magic reroute some young players and draft picks to a 3rd team.

The clippers would move Blake for help at a playoff run this year I believe (CP3 window is closing)

Not often a Superstar comes onto the market.
Magic should be prepared to fire off all bullets for Blake
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team


Proceeds to finish 7th and shames the entire nation!

I'd take him, but he is not taking us anywhere, much like Melo never did for Knicks. He'd be a good chip for getting another superstar, though.

Oladipo-or-Fournier + Harris + Frye + two 1sts is what Orlando can offer. Is that enough? I say no.

Are you kidding me? Blake Griffin likes to throw punches and AG likes to wrestle. They would send each other to the ICU.

He'd cost too much, and we need a rim protector with Vooch. Blake is not a rim protector.

You'd have to give up AG because they are similar players. I think I'd rather see what Aaron becomes, but I'm a homer :)

If we can get him for Fournier+Harris and perhaps future first rounder, i would say yes. I would surely not give up Gordon to get him.

It would be fun to have both Blake and Aaron on this Magic team but we don't have the players to trade for him though, so moving on.

Yeah... he's one of my untouchables. If its not a top 5-7 player coming back, AG would not be going out. Especially because it would be AG plus other prospects and picks... Nope.

I'm getting to the point I am desperate to find our squad in relevancy again. Don't ask me what I would do for it. I have no shame.

Vucevic and Griffin would be a bad duo in my opninion.. Meaning Vuc would need to be apart of the deal... Meaning a third team would need to be involved because LAC would have zero interest in Vuc. Saying that.. Oladipo/Hezonja/Gordon, at least one would need to be involved along with Harris/Vuc.

Assuming somehow LAC makes this trade

Payton
Hezonja
Gordon
Griffin
Ezeli(fa signing)

Terrible spacing, 2nd round exit at best. Once again, need a PG who can shoot if we're going to insert Gordon as a SF. If the second move is to trade Payton+frye for someone like Knight, I'd do it.

Would kill for a superstar/franchise player,and blake is,indeed.

Would really do anything to get him,any pic,any player,ecc.

But

he is gonna be FA in 2017,so that would be just a rental for less more than one year.

I would disagree.

They have similar bodies and are both explosive athletes, but they aren't similar players. Blake was way more polished offensively coming into the league and has only improved, he's a legitimate offensive force now that he's a better shooter and ball handler. I know it gets beat to death but look at what he did in the playoffs last year/what he did when Chris Paul was out of the lineup.

AG is raw, so there's really no telling what he could become, but right now he's not in Blake's universe on the offensive end of the floor. On the upside, AG is 21 years old and can defend 4 (5?) positions on the floor.

I know it's a pipe dream, but I've been saying that this is the kind of trade we should be pushing for. Hopefully our FO at least does their due diligence. We don't have a star to offer, but we can put together a nice package of young players + picks that only a couple of teams could rival if the Clippers were serious about moving on from Griffin.

Return to Orlando Magic
