  • The Clippers and Pistons are set to play in less than two weeks, setting up for an awkward reunion.


The Los Angeles Clippers reportedly agreed to trade star forward Blake Griffin to the Detroit Pistons on Monday night in exchange for Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, and Boban Marjanovic, as well as a first- and a second-round draft pick.

The Clippers are said to also be sending Brice Johnson and Willie Reed to Detroit as a part of the deal.
