The NBA world was turned upside down yesterday as it was announced that a blockbuster trade had gone down which sent the LA Clippers’ Blake Griffin, along with Brice Johnson and Willie Reed to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, and a first and second-round draft pick. That monumental move is yet another reminder that just because a big-name player doesn’t show up in many trade rumors, doesn’t mean he won’t be dealt.
Still, even with that knowledge, it was a pretty shocking move to see the Clippers move essentially the face of their franchise in a clear overhaul move.
