IF this isn't a great trade by the Clippers, then it is definitely a very good one...

I'm sure a lot of you die hards have heard this a million times, usually the team that gets the best player(in his prime) gets the better of the deal, usually 3 for 1 or 4 for 1 or whatever.. And that is the case here, i really do believe this...

Yes it would of been much better obviously if the Clips didn't give up Gordon who is a young talented player but still... 

They get Paul, a future hall of famer in his prime for 2 years and after that im pretty sure they will convince him to play because Paul will have a lot of fun throwing lobs to griffin and DeAndre jordan all game long. And no one throws better lobs than paul. Chandler made a living off those lobs when he was in New Orleans..

So they lose Gordon (very talented but slightly undersized  at 6'3 SG), they lose Kaman (injury prone, getting old, and would not of been happy coming off the bench to Jordan), they lose Aminu (no big loss here), and they lose a very good draft pick (you never know who you will get in the draft, this is an unknown even top 3 picks can end up being a huge bust, we dont even know if this would be a top 2 or 3 pick)

In return clips get Paul.. Like i said, this guy is a super talent, a proven top 2/3 PG in this league for many years now... If anyone saw those playoff games vs the Lakers last year, that alone would show you how this guy can dominate a game... He is a future hall of famer in his prime..

Again, yes i know it seems like the Clippers gave up a lot losing jordan and that pick but fuck, this is a no brainer to me...

A great PG for the future, and just like what people say about the NFL (QB driven league) the NBA has turned into a PG driven league. And that is not just my opinion. That is what ive heard over and over again from commentaters, nba analysts and so on, yes they are sometimes wrong but i really do believe the PG position then very close the Center position are the two most important positions in the league.

Only time will tell for sure what happens.. Clippers still need a SG but their team looks pretty impressive right now.  With this trade they are at least a playoff team and then in a year they might even go further than the 1st round.. w/o this trade im not sure the clips make the playoffs..

So lets just enjoy this, this team will be a lot of fun to watch. They already were of course but with Paul throwing lobs left right and center to those two freak athletes in Griffin and Jordan, sky is the limit..

I cant believe im saying this but i cant wait to see the Clippers this season... I wont jump on the bandwagon though, i still love my celtics and unfortunately i am still a Rapts fan(that will never change) but fuck, Clippers might now be the most exciting team to watch. At least top 3....
