    Michael Beasley and Brandon Knight for Eric Gordon and De’Andre Jordan…Bottom line, Wolves get the Sg and Defensive C to build around Rubio/Love/Randolph/Darko/Flynn and Johnson…the Clippers get the Pg of the future and a 20 point scoring frontcourt partner to pair alongside of Griffin, both will see a lot of one of ones with the other commanding loads of attention on defense…the Clippers would have a minor hole to fill in free agency at Sg and can sign Nick Young to score on the wing…potential lineup …Wolves…Starters-Rubio/Gordon/Randolph/Love/Jordan…Bench-Flynn/Johnson/Darko and others on the bench(they also have the Big Al Trade Exemption and cap room to add a veteran Sf)..Clippers…Starters-Williams/Young/Beasley/Griffin/Kaman…Bench-Bledsoe/Knight/Aminu and others( they will add two high picks next year…)

    The Clippers should not trade Eric Gordon. Plain and simple. Plus, as much as I know you are enamored with Brandon Knight, this is a bad trade for the Clipps because they give up Gordon. I think you said he will never lead the NBA in scoring, but he is a great scorer and he does not have to be a franchise player, because they have Blake Griffin. Griffin is a step above Kevin Love as an all-around player and has a much higher ceiling. Gordon looks like a great running mate for him, why test that with this trade? I think the Clippers would probably choose someone else with the second pick other than Knight, but either way I do not think they want to take Beasley as Blake’s running mate. He is a great scorer, which we saw, but he is a very poor defender, which we also saw in the fact that his team won 15 games. Bad trade dude, sorry to say. Maybe not as bad for DeAndre Jordan straight up for the second pick, but still bad.
