CP3 wasn’t asking to team up with Blake.

Paul was in the last year of his contract. The only teams who would trade for him were teams that knew he would resign with them. The only reason the Clippers knew he would resign with them was because they had Blake Griffin.

What’s the record? Might as well make some history

I remember thinking it was a bullshit move by the league…

I think new orleans was without a owner at the time…

Before Cp3 showed up, Blake was exactly the type of high lottery pick that people on here gnash their teeth over. A really good player who maybe is t worth the max but will most likely command it anyways. They were stuck in mediocrity he’ll with Blake before CP3.

They got CP3 for a future first from Minny, Eric Gordon, Kris Kaman and Aminu. The only reason they were able to pull off that trade was because the league nixed CP3 going to The Lakers, which is where he wanted to go. CP3 wasn’t asking to team up with Blake.

When the clips traded CP3 to Houston they got 8 players in return! 8 players! Including Patrick Beverly and sweet Lou! Plus a future first rounder.

They did get some decent assets back for Blake when they traded him to Detroit. I’m not saying he didn’t help the clips get set up at all. But CP3 was by far the bigger reason for their success with Blake and also the bigger reason they were able to get set up so we’ll post lob city. Blake on his own would have doomed the clips to mediocrity much as he has with Detroit.

The league engineered the CP3 trade to the clips. Without that The clips would not be where they are today.

GoNYGoNYGo – Ready for 2020 Knicks 2.0:
Knicks could trade Julius Randle for Blake Griffin
I just figured I would put this out there.
The CP3 trade doesn’t make sense. BTW, he turns 35 today. Happy Birthday.

You’re not serious, are you? Blake’s knee is shot…hard no.

NahNah: Z-Man, the rhetorical heuristic you now seek to rely on is called “appeal to authority”. I don’t put too much weight in such appeals. In fact, that is the very reason we are stuck with RJ “Can’t Shoot” Barrett. No bueno.

You continue to talk out of your ass. Nearly every single analytical piece on RJ raised his shooting as a big red flag based on both statistical analysis and film study, Feel free to find me an “authority” that said otherwise. The heuristic does not apply here, shocking that you can’t see that.

Hubert:
Normally I’d suggest a new thread but this is kinda like when the ash gets really long on a cigar and you just want to see how long you can go before it collapses.
