A new era is emerging in the 'other' home locker room at the Staples Center. After years and years of misery, the present and future looks bright for the Clippers. On Wednesday, the league approved a trade where Chris Paul would go to the Clippers and Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, and the 2012 Timberwolves' first round draft pick would go to the Hornets.
What does this mean for Blake Griffin?
In a nutshell, this deal combined with the re-signing of DeAndre Jordan, creates probably the most explosive combination in basketball. Personally, I'm salivating over the thought of CP3 throwing up lobs to 2 of the 3 top dunkers in the NBA. We've seen the way Paul makes the game so easy for talented players like Tyson Chandler, and now he has 2 guys that can jump out of the gym to pass to.
I fully expect this dynamic to produce enormous amounts of highlight reel dunks and easy transition baskets for the Clippers as they stride into the playoffs. They might even win a series or 2. Wouldn't that be something?
