Before I try to go all trade Van Gogh and figure out how the Clips can acquire a player with the Shaft-like qualities Oakley possesses, I have a much simpler solution. Taylor Griffin.

My critics might be thinking to themselves "well the Clippers can't just sign Taylor Griffin straight from Belgium and put him in anything other than garbage time, so what's the point? That Fegonomist is such a crackpot. I'm going to tell him his hair isn't luxurious even though I know it really is." The first point is fair, the second doesn't really make sense, and the third is predictable hate that can be disregarded. I have no rebuttal for point one, but I have an alternate solution. The Bakersfield Jam. The Clippers' D-League affiliate needs to reach out to Oakley to teach Taylor Griffin the swag and skills necessary to become Blake's enforcer. I know Oakley will accept. Like Snoop Dogg's pimp mentor in Bossn' Up, Oakley will feel the desire to nurture a protege for the sake of the Game. Also, he totally has a ton of free time, always partying in Vegas stealing other dudes' women with (or without) MJ. I know he has followed the path of being a post League entrepreneur, but his car wash can remain afloat without him for a few months.
Once Oak is aboard the train to Bakersfield, the Clippers need to sign Taylor to the Jam and let Oak wax on wax off Taylor until he is ready for the Show. When the new TG hits the League, Blake Griffin will no longer have to look over his shoulder for that next flagrant 1 and can focus solely on Digglering his way into the annals of NBA history.
