Well damn! Danny Ainge was not joking when he said that the Celtics aren’t done forming their team. If you remember he said that the C’s need another shooter, a ball handler and a brick of a big man.
Now it’s safe to say that Blake Griffin isn’t any of those primarily but for a forward he is a half decent jumpshooter and his handles are great for a big man. Then again, who cares about needs when you smell blood in the water? If the Celtics can make this deal happen, then make it happen! SportingNews broke the potential deal.
The likely target for the Celtics, according to front-office sources, is Clippers forward Blake Griffin. The Clippers have beenweighing trading Griffin all season , and the possibility of a three-team package involving Sacramento sending Rudy Gay to the Clippers has emerged. The Celtics would give up some number of their upcoming draft picks, but opposing front-office members say they don’t want to give up either Brooklyn pick Boston can own in the next two years.
Now another player that has been in the background for some time is Kevin Love, but I think most of us would prefer to go for Blake Griffin over Love. Besides, Love got a ring from all the negative attitude so why move now? You’re King of the hill, no point going to a team that’s still climbing.
Griffin on the other hand, will go to a team that already has a decent roster and with him involved, it could make the Celtics into a deadly threat to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
