NBA trade rumors: Clippers agree to send Blake Griffin to Pistons

The Pistons have been reeling in recent weeks, sinking in the Eastern Conference, but that may soon change.

According to ESPN.com, the Clippers have agreed to send star power forward Blake Griffin to the Pistons for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, a first-round and a second-round draft pick.

The Clippers are including Brice Johnson and Willie Reed in the trade.

Detroit placed Bradley on the trading block Monday after acquiring the former Boston star in July for Marcus Morris. Bradley has struggled with his shot and staying on the court this season.

Griffin, 28, is averaging 22.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season. Griffin just signed a five-year, 171 million deal this offseason, and is set to make over $31 million a year from 2018-19 to 2021-22.

Stanley Johnson will now likely start at small forward for the Pistons, with Griffin and Andre Drummond teaming up to create a powerful frontcourt.

The trade could also mean more minutes for rookie Luke Kennard. The Pistons selected the former Duke star in the first round of last year's NBA Draft, but he has found playing time hard to come by this season.
