I don't understand why Blake Griffin in OTB. I know the clippers have a great record without him this year but they have no shot in the playoffs without him. He got into it with a trainer who is a good friend of his...so what? He's a top 8 player in the league.

Yea, I really don't get that either. He's very good, and the return they'll get will not likely be enough for them to win a championship anyway.

Because he has the most value of the core. The Clippers think DeAndre is a good piece and with rule changes coming up, he is less of a liability.

Paul is older and the return on him is lesser and his natural skill set ages well.

Blake has had 2 surgeries on the shooing hand and maybe is starting to pile up injuries. When healthy, you're right, he puts up MVP caliber numbers and was probably the 3rd best player in the playoffs last year.

The depth the clips could acquire for Blake could make them very good and make Doc the GM look brilliant.

I believe if Blake is traded to even a decent team, he wins MVP next year (a la Barkley).
