Vangundy looks like he might be out soon and the Griffin experiment looks like it's failing. What about this.

The Pistons get Swanigan, Collins, Leonard, Turner, and 2 Blazers 1sts

The Blazers get Griffin

I peobably overvalue Collins (though the blazers to too) . I struggle with the idea of letting go of him, even in a trade for Griffin.

Too early to tell that it's failing. Let's see next season. They need to have better players around Griffin and Drummond.

Maybe one first from the blazers.

Detroit should see what how good he is next year.
But i would like to see Griffin in Portland.

I agree with Gas. I think Detroit should wait it out. He and Drummond could be really good together, but if they do decide to move on, Portland should jump at it. I think I would only include one 1st rounder, but this group of pieces isn't bad if Detroit is blowing it up. They'd also need to move on from Drummond and Jackson though, and do a real rebuild.

For Portland, it brings a lot more balance to the offense. Right now, you can just focus on shutting down their guards, and they're done. You wouldn't be able to do that with Griffin on the floor. However, this does make them even weaker defensively. Griffin isn't horrible, like CJ or Dame, but he isn't especially good either. I'm also a little wary, because Griffin hasn't proven anything to me over the course of his career other than he used to be REALLY athletic. He's fun to watch, and that makes you a star, but it doesn't make you a winner or difference maker. He still has enough career ahead of him to change that though. and hopefully he will.
