Figured I'd make a new thread considering this is the biggest move we've made in a long time.

Post your thoughts

What 1st rounder and what protections?

If its basically Tobias, Bradley and a first. Great deal.

Blake's a big time player. Carried the Clippers in the playoffs a few years ago.

Jordan/Griffin/Paul/Redick couldn't win.

We try it with Drummond/Griffin/Jackson/Kennard...

Welcome Josh Smith 2.0

You’re gonna love it here.

I'm happy we didn't have to give up Kennard, and looking forward to him getting more game time.
I'm not completely sold on Griffin, especially on that contract, but at least it's exciting

2018, top-4 protected. It'll convey this year.

West vs East.

East might even be Lebron-less next season

Holy ****!!!!! What a move. We have a legit star now with a decent surrounding. Absolutely shocking.

I'm wondering if this is it for now and Stans gonna wait, or he makes another move for Kemba. Pistons still have assets.

This makes detroit LETHAL up front. So much scoring and rebounding wow.

Cannot wait to see it in action

This dude is the best PF in the league. Stan rekindled my faith.

On one hand, I like the idea of Stan going out and getting talented players.

On the other hand, Blake is only getting older, already has injury issues, and carries a massive financial weight.

I'm on the fence about this. It feels shortsighted.
