Just listened to the Simmons trade deadline podcast, and it's so bad, it's veering into funny territory. Two middle-aged dudes spouting bullshit like, "I don't know if I would trade for Blake Griffin". OK!

Clippers robbed Memphis at gunpoint, because they got Green for a D-League player who should be waived.


I hate those stupid boards so much.

They got a 1st rounder for an average player, how was that bad for the grizzlies who have no marc gasol

The pick is good, true. Lance is just straight up trash. He had one average season in five years. He's bad.

He is bad, yes. But they acquired his contract, not him. Salaries have to match, remember, so they effectively traded Green for a first rounder and the right to waive Stephenson. The Grizz completely fleeced the clippers.

Yes, Lance will be waived, and the pick might turn into someone who is as good as Jeff Green. If they are lucky. Meanwhile the Clippers get instant help on the wing, where they needed instant help. I still like this trade for the Clippers. Hoarding picks is great, but the draft outside the lottery remains a total crapshoot, as it has always been.

Larry Bird must be praying graces to his statue every night for Lance not taking the 44 million/4 year offer.

Yeah, they dodged that bullet.
