I can't understand this. The Lakers would rather Dwight walk than get Blake and Bledsoe in return. Yeah, it sucks that he is on your rival but do you realize how much worse you will be with just a rehabbing Kobe and trash? What other teams have refused to better themselves in the different leagues?

They said they aren't trading him to the Clippers.

I wouldn't trade his arse to the Clippers either. I'd trade Gasol for Bledsoe and another player like Jamal Crawford, but you don't trade a top 10 player to a rival in your own damn division.

You do if you feel it makes your team better.

The Los Angeles Clippers' dream of pairing Chris Paul and Dwight Howard via a sign-and-trade deal is all but dead.

Have you ever heard of InsideSocal.com or Mark Medina?

That doesn't automatically make it false, but I'm also not sure why you'd trust and post as fact something from someone you never heard of...unless you do know who he is, then I apologize lol.

This has less to do with the Clippers and more to do with payroll. If they can't convince Howard to stay, they're fine with everyone being gone after 2014. They don't want to take on long term contracts so they can pursue free agents

Except it doesn't. Not only do they make their team worse, they make a competitor better.

Lebron isn't signing with LAL. If you have a chance at Blake, you take it.

cause the lakers seem to be one of a few teams who know what competitive suicide is. and they are a win now team. like...win titles! "so, to hell with giving you an opportunity to be better than me."

If the Lakers wanted Blake Griffin, they would have Blake Griffin. You know that, I know that...

I honestly couldn't see the Clippers trading Griffin but you never know. He is what made lob city. He is what brought them back from nobodys to a legit threat (with the help of chris paul this year of course..). I think if they trade him it would be a dumb decision for their franchise

Isn't this the same team who wanted CP3?
