I would say no to both of those honestly

You really wouldn't swap BG for AD if you're LA? I understand your reasoning to a degree, but you just have to consider the circumstances they're in. AD is asked to be a leader at 20 years old. Griffin is a piece to a pretty damned good team, CP is the engine out there.

Not trying to troll you or anything, but unless you include injury potential, (which kills AD's value here), I can't understand why LA wouldn't swap them out.

I dunno, you might be right

I just think LAC values Griffin for his offense. Davis a really good athlete and has great length, but he isn't anywhere close to as fast and strong as BG, and isn't quite the threat in the post or around the basket as BG. Griffin is a force on offense, and I think the Clippers would value that more than the defense and length Davis has, with Jordon already back there at the 5.

I mean he's just raw on offense. he's got a nice jumpshot, but LAC already has jump shooters everywhere. Davis is great but his back to the basket game is not there yet. Griffin's is much much better.

It's not like BG is squeaky clean in the injury department either though.

missed his rookie year, his 2nd year of actual play time, he missed 16 games as well.
