The Clippers trade Blake Griffin? You have a better chance of seeing me be the real father of Beyonce's baby.

Atleast it would get rid of the head ache of all the CP3 and D12 trade talk.

I said that on the 9th.. and then it comes out that the trade was Big Baby/Von Wafer for Brandon Bass. Dwight also sounds like he's more open to staying now, obviously because of Wafer's arrival. Just figured I'd alert the world about my prophetic visionary skills.

Yeah but that's all BS. I wish these superstars wouldn't keep flip flopping, I rather a player do his job yet be adamant about his stance. "No. There's nothing they can or will do to keep me. I will play as hard as I can this season, no matter where I'm playing, but you know my stance."

Obviously some picks would go to Orlando too.

[MetSox17]

I think Orlando got enough in that trade.

Dwight does seem like he's flip flopping now...I dont trust anything he says right now.

Clips/Hornets trade talks back on

and Delonte "El Mariachi" West has signed with the Mavs

[M.O.T.H.]

Mayo traded to the Pacers for Brandon Rush and Josh Mcroberts.

PG Collison
SG Mayo
SF Granger
PF Hansbrough
C Hibbert

It's not that awful. I'd be interested in watching that team. They should really think about trading Paul George, who they were playing out of position.

edit...turns out this could have been a trade Orlando could have pulled off.

Don't forget they got David West too. So it's:

Collison/Mayo/Granger/West/Hibbert with Paul George, Psycho T, and George Hill off the bench.

Good call...I totally forgot about that. Pyscho T to the bench. awww. I loved watching him start. haha.

Still...that's even better. They look the part of an up and comer.

[M.O.T.H.]

Dwight looks so worn out during these interviews.

Possible 3 way between Clippers, Rockets, and Hornets

Either LAC ship Minny's 2012 first and Houston ships one 2012 1st to NOLA or Houston ships both 2012 1sts or Houston ships one first in 2012 and 2013 - all of those might be well-wishing

Communist is gonna yell at you if you keep trying to insinuate the Rockets would want Okafor.

Griz got hosed. Crappy crappy deal for them.

[yo123]

I think you mean the Grizzlies, but yeah.

Yeah that. Thanks.

Is there a link for that report?

They'd basically be getting Okafor for nothing. They've swung and missed on Nene and M. Gasol. Only center they can offer is Dalembert unless they want to continue playing with Jordan Hill at the 5.

[Mr. Goosemahn]

The league is supposedly pushing HARD (pressuring, essentially) to get a deal done with LAC, who won't agree to give up everything Stern wants them to give to NO.

Poor Paul, if this had been Kobe or Garnett or someone else with an attitude they would be standing up to this ********, but Paul's a nice guy and they're taking advantage of this.

This is just ridiculous. The league should stop everything, deport Stern to Somalia, and fix ****.

[EvilNixon]

Griz didn't get hosed...Didn't want to pay a guy who wasn't going to be a premium scorer..All they wanted was a back up big and a pick, and have said that for months.

[WMD]

Golden State needs to go get Chris Paul now. They can do it! I have faith.

[descendency]

What the league is trying to do is insane. The Hornets have no leverage in this deal and will lose everything if the deal isn't done by game 1.

They were offered insane value for him, considering he's only agreeing to a 2 year rental.

I'm glad he's not headed to the Lakers, but when you trade superstars you never get value back. And that's what the league wants.

[bearsfan_51]

J.J. Barea to the Wolves. So that's fun.
