In their prime who's better. And around which player would you build the clippers around.

Griffin for prime, but Brand has an interesting peak argument.

Yeah his 2006 season was special. He took a good team to 7 games in round 1.

No it was in the semis when they lost in 7 games to Phoenix Suns, in the first round they beat Nugget's in 5 games.

Brand for both. His defense was much better and he carried his Clippers teams. With a PG like CP3 he'd have been even better.

I agree Brand was a consistent 20/10 guy, he's a better defender than Griffin, has handless and can pass, although he can't shoot 3s, if he was in today's era he would've developed a 3 point shot.

Brand was supposed to team up in 08 with Baron Davis, but he bolted to Sixers, now imagine Brand with CP3.

He'd be 25/10.
