CP3 and Howard want to play together

[GotSwag?]

I would have been all over that trade.  Pierce would eventually sign with the Clippers after he is bought out.   Then you can go after Howard for Blake/Bledsoe and re-sign Cp3

 

CP3

Butler

Pierce

Garnett

Howard

 

SICK

A lot more to that trade than those pieces...you're casually leaving out Bledsoe or the Clips taking back a bad contract like Lee from the Celtics

Clippers were pretty stupid imo to not make that deal:

 

Celtics: DeAndre + two future 1st rounders

 

Clippers: Doc Rivers + Garnett

 

You get your HC and Garnett. You're losing possibly two late 1st rounders. Why not?

You still have the ability to go sign Pierce and make a trade for Howard. Just dumb on Clippers organization's part.

Garnett is way too far down the line. He's gonna be a 12 and 10 guy in this stage of his career. So I wouldn't want him if u could get him for free. Doc is a good coach but I wouldn't give up an exciting big man and 2 firsts for him. IMO that is the dumb move

So it's back on.....

 

Not sure what to think.  If the Clippers get Garnett and then sign Pierce like they seem to want to (Boston will cut him and save 10 mill or trade so someone else can save that ) they'll be a pretty good team.

 

Boston needs to sadly, get rid of those guys and start getting some people to help Rondo.  Jordan and two #1 picks seems like a good deal to clear that salary.

I wonder if they would have enough cap room to sign Howard as well...

 

PG: Chris Paul

SG: Caron Butler

SF: Paul Pierce

PF: Kevin Garnett

C: Dwight Howard

HC: Doc Rivers

 

looks damn good on paper.

I'm guessing Clippers would have to trade Griffin to the Lakers for Howard?

 

 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

That would still be a fun team to watch.

[carolina-chuck]

As much as I like to see this happen, I hope to death that rigged Stern block this trade like how he did to CP3 last year. This trade would only worsen things for the small market teams in the future. Players are going to want to get together in big market teams even more now if all those guys ended up playing together in L.A. What's next? a trade of Spoelstra, LBJ, and Wade to Brooklyn?

 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

No, because Jason Kidd is probably already a better coach than Spoelstra.
