I'm sure I've commented before that Griffin doesn't fit the kind of team that SVG is building. And he is very well paid but injury prone. But, what would we look like if we had Griffin instead of Harris? Griffin is 27, Harris is 23. Griffin would certainly open the floor for others, but would he get in the way of Dre? And bottomline, do we have a trade that would make the Clippers bite without destroying what we're building?

Harris, our 2016 #1 and a future #1?

We don't have assets to trade for Blake if Andre isn't part of it.

I don't want him anymore. He probably will only play 20-25 games.

His value is certainly going down. I know I wouldn't be the one to gamble on giving up a lot for him. I wouldn't do KCP plus I SJ and 2 first. I don't thnk the Clips would do that either tho. He's a gamble if you trade for him

i'd strongly consider contacting chicago about butler first

Harris, Mook & a first would be the absolute maximum I'd go

SJ takes over at SF, Blake plays PF...we'd then be in desperate need of a bench

I think it would gut the team. we'd be in a slightly better spot than we currently are with less room to develop.
He's not a great fit for svg too

At this point I wouldn't want him with the injuries he's had to deal with. Not to mention Rivers would still want the whole bank.

I agree it would probably gut the team to get him. That's why my initial post was giving up a couple of firsts rather than a lot of players.

I would love to get Butler, but of our starters, who is the weakest link right now? I think KCP can be great. Maybe not as great as Butler, but close enough that SG isn't our weak spot.

Mook would be moved to the bench. Butler i believe can guard SF's capably. I just don't think Griffin would fit here and his injuries do worry me

Blake to NY for Melo?

That'd be interesting...

Bron and WAde to LA!?

Injury prone and only one more year on his deal, pass.

Yeah, his contract situation is the most worrying part - which says a lot given his douchery. The guy is crazy talented and an offseason should heal him up nicely. Still, we'd have to give up our young potential like Tobias and KCP and Griffin doesn't seem like the type of guy who would want to stick around Detroit.

As far as talent goes, we could make it work. I mean, he has worked decently with Jordan, which is a similar skill set. We would be a better team with him. But like I said, we'd be better for 1 year. Assuming he stays healthy. And then we'd be worse when he's gone.

I don't want him punching Brendan Malone or something like that. No thanks.

I would much rather upgrade Reggie to CP3 than Harris to Blake.

Obviously an upgrade over Harris... but not worth what it would take to get him. We need to continue adding depth and building assets for another year or two - then this is the sort of move that you maybe make in order to put you over the top, ala Sheed. We aren't there yet.

Hell effing no
