    @dviss1 I noticed a players character is very important to you. You hate LA and Griffin it seems for there behavior, I can tell. Nothing wrong with that. Curious how you felt about the Jail Blazers. They were bad boys, but they won a lot.
    I think a little toughness and bad boy is what this team needs. Just a dash.

    What did the Jail Blazers win exactly? We got to the WCF without a single bad character guy on the team (unless you believe Turkey that Kanter is a terrorist).

    Regular Season:

    Griffin: 21159 minutes played, 604 games

    Playoffs:

    Griffin: 1870 minutes played, 53 games

    Blake is only a year older than Dame. He's in his absolute prime.

    So has this team with good guys on it. You're not making a very strong case.

    At some point if you believe in this culture setting mumbo jumbo with Dame, then you should believe that we are capable of taking in a few bad eggs and rehabbing their character. Not that I'm saying Blake is that, by all accounts he's been a excellent leader for that Detroit team.

    Hated Patterson for obvious reasons. Hated Sheed's antics on the court with officials and the towel incident. Hated Pippen's NON leadership control of the team. Hated Steve smith's lack of leadership too.

    Hated Damon's contract, elbow jumper, and felt he was overrated. I rooted for them but did not like them. I was pissed when Sheed fired a basketball into Ruben boumtje-boumtje's back.

    I woulda chased that MF around with a pole Ha style if he did that shit to me.

    Why do you gloss over the obvious when you try to prove a point? Stop spinning shit.

    Let's not forget Blake Griffin sat out his entire 09' rookie season.

    So in his 10 year career he's had 3 seasons where he played 80+ games. He was injured 6 seasons.

    If we trade for him Blake will do what he does near every season:

    Get injured in the playoffs. :smiley-ko:

    Then, as he watches from the sidelines, we watch our playoffs hopes go down the drain. :dunno:

    Then there's this:

    Blake Griffin signed a 5 year / $171,174,820 contract with the Los Angeles Clippers, including $171,174,820 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $34,234,964. In 2018-19, Griffin will earn a base salary of $31,873,932, while carrying a cap hit of $32,088,932 and a dead cap value of $141,661,920.

    And bro.... FUCK THAT...

    Also, not only is he injury prone and MAD expensive, he's a fucking DICK.

    Now, have a look at this hot white lady showing Blake's dickliness:

    What spin? I showed facts.

    There's obviously a reason why we would even entertain the thought of acquiring Griffin for Evan Turner and garbage picks. If he had a perfectly clean bill of health, he wouldn't even be in discussion for our bullshit package.

    My bad. I didn’t look at any link. I just assumed the Jail Blazers were a more dominant team than this current one. Higher winning %.

    This is easier said than done. As the GM for OKC in our mock draft, good luck.

    I thought Dennis Schroeder would be a good PG off the bench....until I saw he was making $15 million a year! WTF OKC?

    So they are trying to dump Adams? I always felt he was over rated by many Blazer fans but wow that surprises me....just to avoid the Luxury tax.

    25 million dollars for someone that got benched in the playoffs against Kanter is why.

    A Kanter with one good shoulder at that...

    Adams is quickly turning into a later years Tyson Chandler.

    Yeah, I like Adams plenty, and at the same time recognize that often, big Cs like that will get pushed out of the game situationally often enough where you're likely not getting 34-36 minutes a night out of them. Which is fine. But I think you can have 2-3 guys on the roster giving you a similar impact making that much, potentially.

    Yep the guy he was benched for seems to fit better and he has a player option I am sure he will opt out at since it is only at 1.9. Noel can run. Adams can not. They need both but not at that price.
