If the Thunder drafts Ricky Rubio (the Clippers really likes him), the Clippers may offer Davis (and his salary) and Blake Griffin for Rubio and others. However, the sensible side of the Thunder says no way. Blake Griffin will rot behind Zach Randolph, Chris Kaman, and Marcus Camby, until he wants to get out, and the Thunder will rescue him for way less money.

That last comment you made was right on point. If the Thunder can get this guy Johnson to package him up for a better chance at Griffin, I say go for it. Otherwise, he would just be another mediocre player that wouldn’t ge a good long-term fit for the Thunder. Griffin will be another Paul Milsap but with even better skills around in the paint.
