Clippers land CP3

[angpin]

What a dunk fest it's going to be at Clipperland!

Hornets agree in principle to trade Paul to Clippers « NBA.com | Hang Time Blog

CP3

Butler

Should be fun to watch

CP3 to Blake Griffin is the closest we're getting to real life NBA Jam.

I think cp3 just signed for the wrong LA team.

I'm sure they'll trade Mo williams to fill the 2 spot and hopefully waive Billups so he can lead the Heat to a Championship! Good news all round, IMO.

clippers lost some good talent in this trade. i think it's a dumb trade

roster:
CP3 (knee)
Bledsoe (knee) or billups (old)
Bulter (Knee)
Griffin (knee)
Jordan (wingspan!)

no trade:
billups (old but wise)
gordon (stud)
aminu (stud)
griffin (freak)
jordan (wingspan!)

CP3

Butler
Griffin

Think they have it sorted, although it would be a bit of a different role for them. Bledsoe could handle it!

Hahaha eat a big fat one to all the celebrity Lakers fans that where posting pics of CP3 in a Lakers jersey. Wonder how many celebrity "fans" will be at Clippers games now.

But I'll wait to laugh a little more when the deal is 100% done.

Im so stoked he didnt end up at the lakers!!!

The clippers are again without a legitimate big man presence in the middle. Kaman was the best center the franchise ever had and helped to make them (somewhat) respectable. I'm sorry, but DeAndre Jordan is nothing more than black version of luc longley.

Yeh Jack Nicholson will be depressed.

This trade for CP3 and signing Chauncey and Caron, rather than holding the starting 5 of Mo Williams/Bledsoe-Gordon-Aminu-Griffin-Kaman/Jordan and hopefully picking up a long-term piece with 'Sota's draft pick, pushes the Clips into 'win now mode'.

Not only does the Clips chance of re-signing CP3 hinge on it, but they've seriously mortgaged their future to get him. Hope it works out for them...

Also read this to see all the bad **** that has happened to the Buffalo Braves/San Diego Clippers/LA Clippers franchise: Bill Simmons writes an open letter to Blake Griffin on the eve of the NBA draft - ESPN

This is interesting too... If CP3 can turn Okafor and Chandler into half decent offensive players with alley-oops, imagine what he can do with two of the top three dunkers in the NBA: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/dunk-o-meter/yearly

That first-round pick would've been crucial considering next year's draft is going to one of the deepest ever. Could even match the 2003 draft in terms of quality in the lottery picks...

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[ooneil]

I think Stern really got the better of this deal. They paid a pretty high price for someone they may only have two years.

 

[Farmer2Goggin2Wade]

Paul to Griffin the new Payton to Kemp?

 

[quasar]

i feel bad for Dell Demps. i think he got caught in between and ultimately run over by Stern and the league's handling of the situation. not surprised if he decides to resign after this.

Greg Anthony (NBAtv) just said Clipps are $14m under the cap, room to move!

Randy Foye!!!

Billups too

 

[twizz]

the wolves pick is risky in a stacked draft class.. plus CP3 can always walk in two years lol
