Jordan and Griffin plus trashThat's a bad trade. I don't know what yall see in Jordan he sucks, I want nothing to do with him. Griffin is also a very flawed star if you can even call him that.
NO THANK YOU
Do you prefer he walk and we get nothing?
In my mind, Griff and Jordan are assets. Tanking won't work.
This was the year.Karma says Denver takes Jabari Parker and gets a new Melo.
If our pick turns into a top 5 lottery pick this stands to be as epic a failure as anything Isiah did.
No I prefer we get picks. Both Jordan and Griffin are useless without a good PG which we won't have. I don't want to be locked in to these dudes especially not Griffin. Melo is better than Griffin and Chandler is better than Jordan, if we can't win with these players why take on worse ones? Out if all the "stars" in the league Blake Griffin would be my absolute LAST CHOICE. Very limited player. He's not carrying you offensively or defensively.

Griffin is flawed? lets see, he is a PF who actually plays like one. He patrols the paint, rebounds very, very well, can defend his position, passes pretty darn well, can score and do so efficiently...
And people, including his team mates.. Like him..
It would be a horrible trade for the clippers..
Jordan doesn't suck, again he does what the clippers need him to do.. dunk hard, block shots, rebound and intimidate...
sorry, those guys would instantly make the knicks better. while I can't say the same thing about carmelo or chandler in LA..
His face is annoying

Half the stuff you just wrote is meaningless. Let's review
1)"Griffin plays like a PF", okay...,not exactly sure how that makes him any good...
2)"Griffin patrols the paint", this is basically repeating the PF line, again a vague, intrinsically valueless assertion. What does patrolling the paint even mean? He gets 3 second violations? Lmao you're gonna have to do better than that
3)His rebounding is his main asset, but for an athletic power forward this is expected, he's no Howard at ripping down boards
4)"Can defend his position"- he's a mediocre defender, not locking down anyone. There aren't many star PF's in the league anyway, and he's not a guy that is going to be your defensive anchor so there's nothing to be impressed about defensively.
5)"He can score efficiently", okay as you said anyone that plays "like a PF" should score efficiently, especially when all you do is dunk and take shots near the rim. So what, he can't be relied upon to create much offense on his own like a star player.
Jordan "dunks hard" so he's good? In the words of JR Bricks "FOH dude"

Grffin is instant entertainment. He will be a great in the Garden.
If I would be Dolan I would not even think a minute if I can swap Melo for Blake.
The problem is he can only be entertaining with fast break passing PG which we do not have at all.
Blake can be a part of the plan but not the whole plan...

Yes, he's a great entertainer, not a great player. Clearly a beta player, will always need a great PG to hold his hand.
