I don't get this all that much from the Clippers/CP3's point of view, to be honest.

Garnett has what? One year left? So maybe they get one year of him to make a run (and I don't think that puts them in the Finals at all).

Then they have a gaping hole at Center with no money to sign one even with Jordan and Garnett off the books. They would have to make some more moves to clear salary.

The idea would be to move Jordan for Garnett to be the 4 then move Griffin and Butler for cap space to sign Howard to play the 5.

Paul Pierce would likely come in to play the 3 as a nod-and-a-wink buyout from the Clip Show.

I think his options for improving the Clippers roster are limited, his handlers are pushing hard to stay in LA, and there is real friction between him Blake/Jordan. It may not be a good plan but it's probably the best plan for improvement while staying in LA.
