Second, Griffin is better if he's healthy and would be a very dynamic duo with Mitchell.
Mitchell and Gobert impact winning? They're 1-8 in the 2nd round.
Who do you think is getting them into the second round? They’re still young players, getting better.
Blake isn’t the same player now, unfortunately. I don’t know if you’ve been following the Pistons but they aren’t winning anything with Blake. Not only that, but his trajectory is downward while Gobert is mid prime.
Before he got injured before this past year, he was playing at a really high level and willed that pathetic team into the playoffs.
And then you can flip him and other assets for someone better if you like. No one is touching that terrible gobert deal.
Blake’s big problem is his injury history. Why would you rely on that when you’re trying to contend for a title and keep Mitchell happy? Plus you’re taking any chance on a 31 yo guy that relies on athleticism for your big deal. That’s dangerous on its own, even before factoring in the injuries.
You could flip Gobert tomorrow, that’s the whole reason he was signed, because someone else would have paid him anyways.
