I think if you could pull the trigger on a Griffin trade you do it 10 out of 10 times. If it's that asking price? You take it and run.
It won't happen, but acquiring Griffin would be a massive coup for whoever gets their hands on him.

I think a lot of players are starting to realize just how appealing the Toronto (Canada) market is. You are in a top 5 city in North America that has more to offer than most US cities not named LA, New York, or Chicago. Aside from that, the 2nd level superstars make serious bank in Canada. Lowry and Derozan are an after-thought in US marketing, and still would be if they played on a US based team. These guys are getting also sorts of marketing deals and face time they would not be getting in the US. They are the only fish in a very big pond.
