Blake's stats have always been better when Paul doesn't play. Blake is better when the offense is run through him. Heck, his best year was his rookie year.

I guess I just wanna see where he is at without Paul. His latest injuries have been an issue too
 
If healthy, Griffin is a great player, worth the money--basically a peak Chris Webber. But this deal has spectacular blow-up potential considering Griffin's issues with staying healthy.

He's a great passing power forward, capable post player, great athleticism to get out on the break and finish and has a good jumpshot. Broadly similar skillset. The numbers are also pretty close, both basic and advanced.
 
Damn they just screwed the pooch. He's gonna end up being injured too much. He's a great player when healthy I just dont see it working out.

Chris Webber played defense though. And he was a much, MUCH better passer than BG. He was probably the best passing PF ever. I don't think their games are remotely alike.

Disagree on the passing. I think Griffin is right there with him (and Draymond Green is in that discussion too). Also, neither guy is known for his defense--Griffin isn't terrible at all. I mean, I have no passionate opinion on which of the two was better at defense, but I definitely don't agree that either of them separated themselves from the other on the defensive end. They are/were both mediocre.
 
The problem with Blake is he is getting paid to be the leader of his team and I doubt anyone on the team likes him or even respects him.

Career numbers in assists are comparable. Surprising. But we part ways on Griffin's D. He's a liability. Even TT used to go to work on Blake. Webber actually blocked shots. Blake is horrible at that.

If Blake is healthy, he is a triple double threat. I sometimes wonder if they would've been better keeping Gordon (in a world where Gordon doesn't get hurt) and not trading for Paul. That team still had great upside and Bledsoe at PG.
 
LMAO what the HELL is wrong with GMs these days? they have the brain of a 12 year old.

I listened to Bill Simmons name Blake's injuries in the past 2-3 years and immediately knew i don't want him on my team, he is DONE.

"Hey, we didn't make it past the 1st round for two years. How can we make this team better??:smiley-hmm::smiley-hmm::smiley-hmm:.... I know! LETS GET RID OF CHRIS PAUL AND SIGN ONE OF THE MOST INJURED PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE FOR THE ULTRA MAX!!". :smiley-bonk:

His problem is that he always has that look on his face like he thinks that you're a complete dumbass, but he just can't be fucked to say it.

173 Million for an often injured player is a bad offer and deal. The question is, what percentage is guaranteed. The Clips should have offered a range of 20 to 30 million. They are a rival and some top brass idiot will be the fool when he blows it. I don't care about the LA Clippers.
