Maybe Blake, not Love, is the disgruntled star McD was looking for

Given the recent incident and the comments made that Doc Rivers prefers to trade Blake over CP3 and DJ I thought it would be fun to entertain the idea of Blake in a Suns uni. He's exactly what Amare was for us in his prime with better ball handling. Again we don't even know if the Clippers would consider trading him but if they do I would wait till draft night to offer something like the following

Suns Trade: Brandon Knight, Markieff Morris, Pj Tucker, Jon Leur, Suns 2016 1st rd pick, Heat 2017 1st rd pick

Clippers Trade: Blake Griffing, Lance Stephenson


Thats a pretty nice haul for Griffin with 2 great role players on bargain contracts in Tucker and Leur(contracts not guaranteed next year) and assuming our pick isn't #1 overall they will have a chance to draft Blakes replacement in the top 5 this year and with the cap increase they can upgrade SF position via FA or S&T using Reddick as trade bait.

Clippers look like CP3-BK-FA-Kieff/Top 5 pick-DJ(

BTW that clippers team IMO has same pick n pop/roll game with Kieff being lethal from the midrange and can take pressure off of CP3 with BK as his running mate.

Suns get their superstar and have him surrounded with shooters and young talent thus giving us at least a 5 year window. The other thing this does is build a great rivalry between Suns/Clippers.
