If the Clippers decide to tank, what are peoples thoughts on trying to get Blake??

Here are a few factors:

- If Clippers tank they will probably go full rebuild and look to bottom out for a few years. This won't match with Blakes timeline and they'd benefit by moving him and getting picks and cap space.

- Getting Blake would put us back in win now mode and enable us to compete throughout Rudys prime (Ive always liked the 2 bigs approached to knocking off GS as apposed to going small).

- Would cost less than people think due to his HUGE contract and his injury history. Maybe Favs, Burks (to tank with), Bradley and our 1st round pick (to build with)

- Would we want his contract or would it cripple us?

- He isnt a true stretch 4 but is a massive upgrade to Favors. Provided similar defense while having a much better offensive game.

- Would he fit with Gobert I guess is the other question...

Thoughts?


The other guy Id like to target is Saric.

What's that stupid Bon Jovi song, something like hanging on a prayer? I can smell the tank train approaching.
 
I'd rather have Love. If Lebron leaves Cleveland, I think he's very obtainable: rights to our pick and can match salaries with Burks, Jerebko and Thabo.

I like Jabari, but clearing cap space to offer him a max decimates the roster.

We'd be paying Love only a bit less than we'd pay Parker. 21m vs 25m.
