Anybody after Simmons I'd make the trade in a heartbeat.

The #1 pick? Maybe not. But anything at 3 or above? Absolutely. Griffin has been one of the leagues top 10-15 players for the past couple years. If #

That said, with Doc in LA I'm not so sure the 2016 Brooklyn pick HAS to be involved. Avery Bradley and Sullinger were guys Doc really liked. Considering that their both fairly expendable, they'd probably be involved. You have to give them enough to still make a respectable playoff run.

Maybe something like: Bradley, Sullinger, Jerebko, 2016 Dallas 1st, 2018 Brooklyn 1st, 2016 Philly 2nd.

Doc prob wants Crowder though

I vote no but not so much because Simmons is so great but rather I don't think Griffin is anything to get excited about.

Simmons still has quite a bit to show before he can be anointed a cornerstone type of player.  He still has plenty of chance to do that.  The Griffin case is pretty much closed, he is not a cornerstone.

I wouldn't trade Simmons or Ingram for him and most of us probably wouldn't. Maybe we're dumb lol but I like those two and think with them we could have a 10-15 year window where with Blake it's like 5-7 years.
