Without a guarantee, giving up a potential top 5 pick and basically all your depth is going to hurt.
Part of that trade had to do with keeping Griffin, which is pretty sad considerig his contract isn't up until 2014. Teams really fear their stars leaving. Given his gimpy knee, who even knows what type of player Paul will be in 3 years, but for now this team is better with Paul. They still have good depth......I'm sure they'll look into trying to trade Mo Williams for a SG/SF.
