I'm not sure this trade changes the situation for any party. Griffin's going from one mid-table team with a top center to another mid-table team with a top center. Detroit is sending too many current assets back, so unless the sudden 8 game losing streak was caused by friction between the existing roster this doesn't really make them better. And the Clippers, well maybe they sneak into the 7th or 8th seed if DeAndre stays... then get shat on by their Warrior or Rocket overlords causing them to re-evaluate their life decisions.

In theory he backs up Baynes so that they don't have to go small once Baynes has a rest. He is also more of a scoring option inside than Baynes so it gives them a different look inside. All in all a good pickup for the stretch run.

Anybody have any thoughts on if Mirotic makes a big difference in NO? Helps Chicago tank more which is good for us.

Mirotic doesn't make a big difference on any team. Solid player, not a difference maker. Tank away my Bulls :)

Congratulations Cleveland Cavaliers! You just traded away half your team in a series of panic moves based on regular season form, which was proven last season to mean next to nothing for you guys!

Yes, apparently Koby Altman let the endless 'hot takes' about the Cavs being in trouble when they weren't get into his head and decided to start a rebuild whilst his team was still competing for a title. Dwayne Wade was sent back to the Heat for a can of Mountain Dew. Isaiah was axed for being rusty after a lengthy injury and sent to the Lakers, who are still deluding themselves into thinking they're in the race for LeBron!

They also traded one albatross contract in Iman Shumpert for an even bigger albatross in George Hill! Have fun paying even more luxury tax than you already were Dan Gilbert! Of course the big winner out of this is Kyrie Irving, who got out of this shitshow before the season, and the Boston Celtics, who effectively acquired Irving for a first round pick and four pieces of trash.

I'd tell Cleveland to hold this L, but they already have 16 of those from the Browns. Have fun trying to convince LeBron that this franchise isn't run by clowns next off-season.
