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.
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…..

So what you're saying is "way more assets" = only Jrue Holiday? Ok
The real advantage Griffin has is ownership.
Uh, because Demps negotiated a terrible deal on his own and had to be overruled by David Stern. The return for Paul was good on paper, just like all these future picks look good on paper right now
Griffin's 2020 off-season was a disaster, but he made changes and the team still has flexibility going forward. That very rarely happened with Demps.
We'll see how it shakes out (I'm not particularly optimistic), but Demps was a two bit GM for a two bit organization.
