Blake Griffin is heading to Detroit after starting eight seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. By trading Griffin for this package, the Clippers are all but screaming that this is their intention. Same for the Pelicans in trying to make moves to replace Cousins, and if the Clippers make any further moves aimed at the future beyond trading Griffin. He was then traded to Detroit on a Monday afternoon in January in a deal no one saw coming. Rivers no longer runs basketball operations for the Clippers, and there have been rumblings Van Gundy is in some level of trouble in Detroit.
