Jerry taatha rocking as usual

Griffin’s situation is the perfect example. Multiple front-office executives told me that though the Griffin blockbuster sent shockwaves through the NBA, Clippers consultant Jerry West was ready to reconfigure the roster back in the summer once he knew Paul was a goner. Steve Ballmer just wasn’t ready to pull the plug. But even after the Clippers made several notable hires in the front office, West has the owner’s ear. As time passed and Griffin got injured again, Ballmer came to agree with West that paying an injury-prone player $171 million over five years, including $39 million when he’s 32, wasn’t in their best interest.

So they made the smart decision, dealt Griffin, and are in the process of exploring other moves to clear a path for a new direction, such as trading center DeAndre Jordan rather than re-signing him. A big-market team took a long view and opted to create asset and financial flexibility, while a mid-market team thought short-term and took an enormous risk. Even Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy noted the dangers of acquiring the injury-prone four-time All-NBA player, but he has to gamble to make the playoffs and put butts in the empty seats at Detroit’s new downtown arena.
