Well the nba players like the clippers end of the trade, but hey at least Gary thinks its a good deal for both teams.
Gee, players from the two teams in front of the Pistons in the playoff window hope it doesn't work out? I change everything I thought about the trade now.
He asked them who won the trade, not who they hoped won the trade. If anything you'd figure they'd say the team in their conference they compete with got the better end and have respect for a player with career achievements like Blake. It just shows the players dont respect his game just like all the nba writers dont who're analyzing this trade dont respect it.

This is part of a cross post for the record.
"Look at the all star voting.
Blake had only 8 vote from Players, while Steven Adams got 27 for reference.
Blake is the 14th most voted frountcourt player from FANS, while Steven Adams almost doubled him in a quite small market which is his actual hometown.
Blake got 0/297 of available MEDIA votes"
Cant even get a bone thrown to him by his own media for a all star vote. Its hilarious to me how anybody could think picking this guy up is a good long term move. SVG has you drinking the koolaid if you believe this was a move in the best interest of the franchise.
