NBA: Media: Clippers wanted to trade Griffin for Towns
According to media reports, the Los Angeles Clippers wanted to guide Karl-Anthony Towns to the city of angels. The Californians wanted to give Blake Griffin away for this. But the Timberwolves are said to have declined with thanks.
That’s what basketball insiders say. According to the report, however, the talks ended quickly as Minnesota had no intention of surrendering the center. The Wolves continue to see Towns as an important part of their future, which is not for sale at the moment.
With Griffin’s 29.5 million dollars a year and Towns still in his rookie contract (6.2 million), the Wolves would have sent more players to LA. to make a deal. According to Basketball Insiders, however, there were no conversations about other players.
Recently there have been some trade rumours about the Clippers, especially about Center DeAndre Jordan, whose contract expires this summer. However, the clips have recently won numerous games and are back in the race for the playoffs with a record of 20-21. Lou Williams outperformed the Golden State Warriors not only in his 50-point gala against the Golden State Warriors. Due to their recent successes, it seems doubtful that the Clippers will become a star. Instead, they will fight for entry into the playoffs.
