Happy Tuesday everyone. Today’s links are all about Blake Griffin, who really was traded to the Pistons by the Clippers.
At ESPN, Kevin Pelton goes deep on the deal in his trade grades. I think you’ll find his take on it for the Pistons particularly interesting and insightful.
Here’s what the The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor had to say about the deal. The Ringer did a podcast on it as well.
At Sports Illustrated, here’s Jeremy Woo’s trade grade. Lee Jenkins’ recent Chris Paul profile is an interesting reading pairing for the trade breakdown.
Friend of FTS Chris Barnewall has a great breakdown at the trade over at CBS.
Lastly, I’ll leave you with this gem:
Blake Griffin, CP3, JJ Redick, and Paul Pierce kidnapped DeAndre Jordan when he almost signed with Dallas 3 years ago and now Pierce is dead and the others are on different teams but DeAndre's still in LA like pic.twitter.com/CgZCshNIrv
