At this point, there are no other details regarding what would be one of the biggest in-season trades in recent NBA history. It is possible that All-Star snub Andre Drummond is involved in said discussions, especially considering the salaries seem to align there.
If a potential deal does not include Drummond, a whole plethora of pieces and picks would have to head Los Angeles’ way.
Detroit currently finds itself at 22-26 on the season and as the ninth seed in the Eastern Conference. The injury-plagued Clippers are also the ninth seed out west, boasting a 25-24 mark.
Los Angeles just recently signed Griffin to the largest contract in team history this past summer. A move here would signal a dramatic shift in terms of the front office and its vision for the future.
