A normal Monday afternoon was turned upside down when Adrian Wojnarowski broke the story that the Clippers were in serious discussions with the Detroit Pistons regarding a trade centered around Blake Griffin. About a half hour after the initial tweet, Woj reported that a deal between the sides had been agreed upon.
We’d been hearing for a while that the Clippers could be active on the trade market, but most expected either Lou Williams or DeAndre Jordan to be the first to go. There were few public indications regarding Griffin’s availability, but, clearly, the team was open to trading the face of their franchise.
