Griffin and DeAndre are still better than anyone on our roster.

Clippers are still better. Our roster is pretty putrid right now.

Voted yes.... but only if Blake Griffin goes elsewhere in free agency. I don't think D Jordan alone would be enough to make them the better team.

DeAndre will look like Robert Sacre this season with CP3 gone. Reddick is reportedly gone too. Griffin won't sign there if he wants to contend. They are the new Kings and Sixers, the masters of eternal tanking.

Nonetheless, our roster needs a huge upgrade. We need to add shooters, interior defenders/rebounders and defensive-minded players just to have a shot at the 35-40 win mark.

Griffin makes the Clippers decent. He makes Jordan functional on offense. He makes it okay to run combo guards and 3/D guys. If Griffin leaves though, Lakers will be the better team.

How does that make you better than the Lin, Gallo, and Wil fans who root for them over NY?

sadly still the clips. They have more experience. Now if they traded away their big 3 then thats a different story.

Although the Clips have a better roster right now, they never had a chance at a title, just like we didn't either.
Their heart and soul was CP 3. Unless they can pull in someone like Kyle Lowry, they'll become irrelevant again, consistent with their history.
And if Griffin leaves too, they will be decimated.

They are clearly better now, but if Blake leaves, then we're better.

The Clippers will struggle to win 45 games and won't​ come close to that number if Blake bounces.

I think he takes the meeting with the Suns seriously on Saturday. But I see him looking at OKC also.

The Clippers are on a quick path back to the Eric Piatkowski and Loy Vaught days.

Back to irrelevancy. Right where they belong.
