LeBron and Kyrie are both a lot bigger than him. So you give up your best wing defender, a role now crucial in todays NBA, for a massive injury risk who downgrades you defensively. If Blake weren't such a massive injury risk it might be worth a gamble. Go after Cousins instead, I'd be willing to give up JV for him.
Yup. Cousins would be an absolute dream for the Raptors. Way more valuable than Griffin in my opinion.
