I accept and feel like this trade benefits both teams. Benefits for the Clippers: - Eliminates Boozer as an impeding factor in their attempt to resign Blake Griffin. - Gives them a true back up PG. - Provides the team with a potent sixth man who can score off the bench. Benefits for the Kings: - Clears 15 M in cap space for next year; I hope Lebron, Melo, and DeAndre are paying attention! - Provides the starting line up with a huge upgrade at PF (at least for now.) - Draft picks are always nice! Best of luck to Mike and the Clippers but not too much luck given our recent battle for playoff seeding!

I accept.
Vlade summed up the deal pretty well in his previous post.
I would simply add that there are 2 main driving factors for me here.
1 - Since day 1 of the league, we have intended to keep Blake Griffin in LA and although Boozer never really did cut into his minutes, the perception was there by some that it could happen. This should show that we are 100% committed to doing whatever it takes to keep Blake in the Clippers organization.
2 - Although the Boozer pairing was good on paper, he never really excelled with the Clippers in a backup role and our on the court results showed it. While JR Smith may or may not be a long term piece for us, we are committed as an organization to do whatever it takes to continue to improve our roster and compete for the championship.
Good luck to Vlade and the Kings as well. Being division rivals, this trade will probably come back to haunt one of us:)

Looks like it's got 3 Accept, I would accept as well.
All I can say, as Blake's agent, is this: Blake is watching.

Blake is a renob if he can't see that his team couldn't make the playoffs with THAT TEAM.
