Major Trade Possibilities

  The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Clippers have been involved in many trade talks.  The Clippers are looking to send DeAndre Jordan and Eric Bledsoe for Boston Celtics' center Kevin Garnett.  Garnett has been linked to many trade rumors this year and this one is the most publicized.  Also, Paul Pierce is linked to many trades, along with the injured Rajon Rondo.  Rondo might be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Dwight Howard.  Kevin Garnett doesn't like much change, so it seems like he wants to stay in Boston.  If the Clippers get Garnett, then they will be a very good team and a very fierce team.  If Paul Pierce goes to the Clippers, the Clippers would benefit greatly.  They would likely trade Lamar Odom for Pierce and the Clippers will have a strong front five.  The Clippers would have Chris Paul, Paul Pierce, and Chauncey Billups as possible point-guards.  Kevin Garnett has a rare trade clause, meaning he would have to waive it off.  Lamar Odom is currently signed with a one-year deal and hasn't been preforming well.  The head coach for the Clippers, Vinny Del Negro, only has one year left on his contract and needs to take the Clippers far this season to get an extension on his contract.  The Clippers have not extended his contract yet.  The trade that will most benefit the Clippers involves sending Paul Pierce to L.A. for Lamar Odom.  By Ameen I.

More Trade Talk?

  The Los Angeles Clippers have been involved in many trade rumors, and are yet again in the mix.  The first trade rumor involved Boston Celtics center Kevin Garnett being traded to the Clippers.  It would send either DeAndre Jordan or Caron Butler.  That rumor has been put to rest, but another has come up.  The trade would involve sending Eric Bledsoe from the Clippers to the Utah Jazz.  The Clippers would receive Paul Millsap, who is having an amazing season so far.  I personally think that this trade will benefit the Utah Jazz the most because they will have a player who can do many things with his talents.  If Bledsoe wasn't on the Clippers, I think he would be receiving a lot more credit.  Both of these trade rumors, however, have been subtle and aren't drawing too much attention.  The rumor involving Kevin Garnett was quickly put to a rest and hasn't been a major headline.  I don't think either trade will take place.  My reasoning is the Clippers aren't making a big deal with these trades and frankly, they are young.  They don't need to bring in veteran players when they have youth, agility, and speed on their side.  By Ameen I.

Blowout

For what was supposed to be one of the best match ups of the year, ended up being one of the most embarrassing losses for the Clippers this season.  The Miami Heat would steam roll the Los Angeles Clippers with a final score of 111-89.  Despite the return of Chris Paul, the Clippers couldn't convert.  Although, Miami made a total of 15 three pointers in this game.  LeBron James led the Heat with 30 points and added 6 assists.  James was 9-11 shooting, including a three point shot plus a foul; a four point play.  Chris Bosh and Ray Allen weren't playing because they were sick, and Dwayne Wade played through the virus.  Dwayne Wade led the Heat with 7 assists to go along with 20 points.  Rashard Lewis led the Heat in rebounds with 7 and added 10 points.  In the middle of the game, a ball went into the stands.  LeBron James wanted the fan to pass the ball back, so he did.  Surprisingly, James through it back to the fan to make a crisper pass to him.  The fan did and James gave the ball to the referee, but James wasn't called for a delay of game.  The fan wanted to keep the basketball like a baseball, but he gave it back.  Anyways, DeAndre Jordan led the Heat with 17 points to go along with 6 rebounds.  He has done a great job of scoring.  Ryan Hollins had 5 points and a team lead 8 rebounds.  Eric Bledsoe led the Clippers in assists with 6 and added 7 points.  If he scores more, I think he can lead the Clippers to many more wins.  Blake Griffin didn't have a great night.  He only had 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.  Finally, Chris Paul scored 3 points,2 assists, and 1 rebound.  For both Blake Griffin and Chris Paul this was an ugly game.  Both teams play again on Sunday.  The Clippers have to step up their game, or they won't have a good rest of the season.  Miami is doing a great job of scoring without Chris Bosh and Ray Allen.

KG Trade?

There is a possibility of Boston Celtics' center, Kevin Garnett, being traded to the Los Angeles Clippers.  Although, Garnett still has his contract with Boston.  The only way for him to be traded is for him to waive it off.  This trade involves Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler from the Clippers.  If Garnett goes, then Butler and Bledsoe will go to Boston.  If Garnett goes to L.A, the Celtics won't have much height.  The good new for the Clippers is they will get another big man.  This is just a trade rumor ,though.  Come back, because I will have updates on this trade.
