Clippers interested in Garnett

[zB_#85]

Don't like KG, but if he goes there the Clips are winning the chip.

Why? Their frontcourt is set with Blake and DeAndre and the difference between an off the bench KG vs off the bench Odom isn't really worth Bledsoe and Butler IMO. Plus, the chemistry of the Clips is awesome and KG being so intense the way he is that might or might not work... Idk, I dont see the point for the Clippers.

How does it make sense for Boston when they end up with -5 wins? You're just being a Clippers homer to boost your team even further. Get real.

Celtics need to rebuild soon. They would be getting an athletic rebounder in Jordan, athletic young guard in Bledsoe, Reliable shooter in Caron Butler, and an expiring in Odom. That team would be nice once Rondo returns...

That Pierce and KG trade with DeAndre being dealt is a chemistry killer. No doubt, DeAndre and Blake are like best friends and CP3 + Pierce + KG is too many dominant personalities on one team. That's why Allen worked well with KG and Pierce, he was quieter. That's also why once Rondo started being more outspoken in Boston some chemistry issues came up...

I don't think the Celtics will do it, but if they decide to rebuild DJ and Bledsoe would be great pieces. I'd love it for my Clipps! We could even throw in 2 #1's because we'd be picking really low as long as we had KG.

I'm pretty sure Garnett would be all for it if it meant winning a title. He has a No-Trade-Clause though, but he can be traded only if he agrees to it.

Is that your way of evaluating this trade? The Celtics SHOULD be tanking.

Have you ever heard of Kevin McHale? In any event, the Clippers are currently the 5th ranked defensive team, Adding Garnett instantly carries them to #1. Shoots he'll probably improve their offense as well.

Kind of hard to take orders from someone you're better than.

Just imagine:

CP3/Billups
Jamal Crawford/Grant Hill
Pierce/Barnes
Blake Griffin/Turiaf
KG/Hollins

A team from the basketball gods.

KG would start. And the Chemistry is a result of CP3, he and KG would click instantly.

This trade makes sense for both teams.

seems like a fair trade, plus i think in this case LAC would give BOS a couple of 1st round picks.

Ronod, Bledsoe, Jeff Green, Sullenger, Bass, Jordan, Melo. decent younger group with a few 1st next few yrs and cap space

Actually, I'd prefer Pierce on the Clips over KG.

Well, that's not what they need. KG is a much better fit than PP on the Clips.

Also whomever said Caron was a big sacrifice is nuts, he sucks, and he's well overpaid, the Celts don't want him either, he's just there to balance out the salaries.

Bledsoe is there so they can deal Rondo when he proves he's ready to go again.

[heyman321]

LOL what?

What are you loling at? Bledsoe is leaving after next year. He can obviously start, wants more money, and Chris Paul even lobbied for him to have "his own team to run".

[bagwell368]

I was hoping for this. Just offer DJ+Bledsoe for Pierce+KG.

I make this trade everytime in 2K12 and Boston NEVER declines. GET ER DONE

That would be about $16M short on the Clips side.

Generally agree, but Bass and Melo are crap. Rondo will be dealt if Bledsoe comes, and Bradley is a key piece you missed.

Odoms expiring gets er done
