Griff was given way more assets to work with and an overall clean slate to work with.


That's some revisionist history there. They both negotiated trades of an All-NBA talent in his prime to teams in LA to reboot the franchise. They both had a consensus #1 overall pick in the draft.

Demps managed to maneuver himself into a place where the team had no real assets via the draft or trade for about 5 years. We'll see if Griffin can avoid that

Not really. You are correct they were both handed generational talents. Both had the chance to trade a generational talent. For whatever reason CP3 didn’t incite the bidding war and get the haul AD did. But Griff was also handed an all star calibur asset in Jrue already on the team that Dell didn’t have. And was in high demand when he wanted to be traded…..
