When The Woj Bomb dropped on Friday, I struggled to process the news.
Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow and Keon Johnson were three guys who I felt like I’d put a lot of stock into this season and suddenly they were on their way to Portland, with two guys whose careers I hadn’t really followed until now coming the other way. As the reality of the trade began to sink in, it became clear that the Los Angeles Clippers had once again executed a sensible piece of business.
There’s no hiding that it’s tough to see those guys leave.
