The Clippers and Pistons have agreed on a deal to trade Blake Griffin for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, a first-round and a second-round draft pick, league sources tell ESPN
Clippers are includig Brice Johnson and Willie Reed in the trade, league sources tell ESPN.
Sources: Protections on Detroit's 2018 first-round pick headed to Clippers -- 2018: 1-4; 2019: 1-4; 2020: 1-4; 2021: unprotected. Detroit will send a 2019 second-round pick in the trade too.
First impressions are that this is a great trade for the Clippers. Trade an injury prone star on a mammoth contract for a really nice young player in Harris, a likely late lottery pick, and filler. Sets the table for a rebuild, but if they aren't able to deal Lou and DJ also keeps them in the hunt for the 8 seed.
Pistons... they had to do something. Their season has been falling apart, and they really didn't have a direction. Now they're like a poor man's version of the pre-injury Pelicans.. I think they gave up too much for such an injury prone player, but Blake is still the best player in the deal, so we'll see I guess.
