There's an argument for Blake over Charlie V.... even though Blake gave us a good 1.5 years we still gave ups Harris + picks for him and if we didn't make that trade we almost certainly would have just missed the playoffs that season in the 2018 draft where the picks in that range looked like this.
10. Mikal Bridges
11. SGA
12. Miles Bridges
13. Jerome Robinson
14. Michael Porter Jr.
Our entire franchise's history from 2018 could look entirely different if we didn't make the Blake trade.
Eh, the decision to make the Blake trade in general and effects of it can certainly be criticized.
But, Blake Griffin the player was more than fine. He had an incredible year his first full season in Detroit. Made the all NBA team and was an all star (both of which were the first time in 4 years). Its EASILY one of the best seasons by a Piston in this millenium.
