Wolves-clippers

Clippers recieve- Tyus Jones, Shabazz Muhammad, Bjelica, future 1st round pick

Lineup:
Paul/ Jones
Reddick/ Crawford
Muhammad/ Pierce
Speights/ Bjelica
Jordan/ Stone
*clippers get a young PG who showed he can lead a team. He will lead the bench and can develope with the help of Paul. Muhammad is more than capable of starting at SF and he has shown a lot of offensive promise (per 36 mins) . Bjelica is a solid 3pt shooter who struggled at times last year but still has potential to be a Ryan Anderson Type player*

Wolves recieve- Blake Griffin

Lineup-
Rubio/ Dunn (can switch midway through)
Lavine/ Rush
Wiggins/
Griffin/ Aldrich
Towns/ Dieng

*Min loses a key player in Muhammad and a promising young PG in tyus but recieve one of the best PF's in the league. I didn't love gorgui playing PF with towns so I think they need a starting pf. I think with this lineup, wolves have arguably the top front court in the nba and are a sure playoff team. *

(Clippers probably say no? ) don't think the wolves would wanna give up the four blocks (Lavine Wiggins kat Dunn) but may have to. Thoughts?

Just not enough for Griffin. He's a top ten player, when healty
And If Griffin wants out, LA should call Ainge and trade him for a Nets pick and Crowder.

Celtics would have to move Johnson, maybe Rozier along with Crowder and pick to make it work value/ money wise. Would leave Celtics awful thin and undersized at the 2/ 3, but in theory it could work.

I wouldn't call Muhammad a key player or Jones "Promising" either.

Not even close to enough for Blake. look at other trades for guys like ibaka. clippers are going to ask for way more. Blake never said he wants out. He's a FA at the end of the year, teams have called for him and been denied. If a team like the twolves actually want to talk about blake, the clippers won't even entertain the idea with out the name wiggins and lavine or towns thrown in.

I agree that for a healthy Blake that may not be enough, but Blake is not 100% and nobody here knows if he'll be 90%.
Although Ainge drafted Austin Rivers and then dealt him to LAC for Doc don't think for 1 moment that Doc would do any favors for Ainge.

Ainge never drafted Austin. But he did trade for Austin then trade him to the Clippers before he every put on a Celtics jersey so because we didn't have the roster spot for him and we wanted to make cap room.
