we've definitely got the ammo to trade for either one right now.

I think when engaged Griffin has the tools to be a better defender. His one on one defense is really good, but other parts of his defense are not as good.

I'd rather get Blake because he's the better player, but it would take so much more to get him that I'd rather trade for Love
I'm bitter.

Assuming we'd be giving up the same assets for either? Then Blake.
However knowing that Love would cost us a lot less, i'd take him.. it would give us more options to further build.

while Blake might cost more (ie, draft picks) we might be able to end up keeping Crowder, as I'd imagine Smart is more appealing to Doc.  alternatively, Cavs may not want any picks but they'll demand Jae.  the problem is, adding Crowder to a Lebron team might create a juggernaut that we're not getting past anyways...

to me, that's why I'd probably rather pay more for Blake.  to avoid making our main competition better.

Blake.  Easily.

I'd rather have Blake on Celtics than LeBron or Love .

Blake is just in his prime .   LeBron is fell off , can not play 48 minute full balls to wall like he once could ....he cries for help .....sort of getting lame listening to him whine about needing help ....smh

He is suppose to be THE MAN .....

Meh....

I wouldn't actually bet that Love would cost less.

Love. Not as dynamic offensively or versatile defensively, but the range, rebounding and the length of his contract make me prefer him.
