Why would we give up an asset if we are essentially helping them get out of a big salary?!? Granted we are both helping each other out but they will get enough with shedding salary quite sooner than later.
Pistons would want any deal for DeMar to include at least Murray for Griffin. They would likely let DeMar walk so it would be a salary dump for Pistons. Not getting Griffin without including Murray so it's not happening. Of course DeMar and Marco would be worth it for Griffin but not giving up Murray.

Exactly, but the Piston would likely want Murray and Spurs hang the phone up on them. They are looking for youth for Griffin I read. Spurs should at least see if Pistons would want a DeMar for Blake swap without Murray included of course. I'd say it's unlikely.
You get huge salary relief, or you get assets: not both.
If Detroit is really serious about trading Blake I'd be all over a DD for Griffin swap. He's been so overrated most of his career and forgotten about now that he's in Detroit that he's actually pretty underrated. He's expanded his game out to the 3pt line and I think his high low ability with LA would kill teams because he is an elite passing big. This team has a shot at the le if they can Blake with only giving up DD imo.
That being said I have to imagine many teams would be willing to give more in a trade. I know Casey loves derozan but don't think that's enough to get it done
The problem is Blake easily gets injured. Towards the end of last season his knee completely disintegrated. Unless he somehow stays healthy for the whole contract, that contract can become toxic
Blake and LMA don't fit together in my mind. I'd be good with getting Blake in a deal that send LMA back to Portland or something (IF LMA wants to go). Griffin and DeRozan are better fits than LMA and DeRozan. I don't know how I'd feel about Blake starting at the five, so I'd still want the team to get a center or two to fill in that part of the rotation.
Murray, Walker, DeRozan, Griffin, and Poeltl may be a viable starting lineup. Forbes, White, Carroll and Gay a good bench tandem too, but unless the team also brings in Milutinov or wants Lyles to be the bench center, it feels a little thin in the front court.
This. Would someone chisel this into granite and give it to Pop and RC please?
Why all this excitement over Griffin? The Pistons were perhaps the worst playoff team off all time last year, even with him playing. He barely budges the needle anymore in terms of improving a team and getting wins.
The problem with Detroit is their guards are ing terrible. The entire perimeter rotation is straight trash. The fact the made the playoffs at all is a testament to Griffins game because they might not even win 10 games without him. Griffin is a top 20 player in the league. You're really asking why people would be excited getting him? Werent you just lamenting the spurs letting Josh ing maggette get signed by Orlando?
Someone posted on realgm that on Twitter they read the Pistons inquired about DeMar. Doesn't mean they will send Blake to SA. take it with a grain of salt, internet full of rumors all the time.
Griffin is great but he can't stay healthy and things will probably get worse, hard pass.
I’d take Blake over Demar all day but I just can’t envision the spurs trading Demar after 1 season
I don't buy this argument at all. Robinson dragged a worse San Antonio guard corps to the WCF. Blake Griffin just isn't that good.The problem with Detroit is their guards are ing terrible.

And no, , of course the Spurs shouldn't have signed Josh Magette. What for brains you have.The problem with Detroit is their guards are ing terrible. The entire perimeter rotation is straight trash.

That is a tall order you are asking maybe other than AD, non of the big man of today is anywhere close to DRob level
Lol asshurt
If Detroit really wants to move Blake, they’d almost certainly trade him for draft picks over a 1-year rental of DeMar... Not happening tbh. Pipe dream.
Dude, Anthony Davis is just the same. Never gone anywhere. I'd definitely put peak Aldridge above those guys -- he actually got teams into the playoffs, as far as big guys.
Blake's contract is a bit high for an oft injured player
I think if the Spurs wanted Blake, he'd be so motivated to play for a winning franchise.
this is going to turn into 50 pages of spurs Blake griffin fanfic. all is going to happen
Thread should be closed Jabari Young was said to have heard nothing on this. Base less rumor
