About an hour ago I was writing about the Boston Celtics looking to make a move for Clippers Blake Griffin. In recent days the Celtics have also been linked to Oklahoma City Thunder’s Russell Westbrook.
Either acquisition would make the C’s an Eastern Conference powerhouse and the deals are feasibly possible. But according to Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald, talks for Blake Griffin or Russell Westbrook haven’t taken place in some time.
Sources indicate the Celtics are very much open to major moves, but while situations certainly remain fluid and they have expressed interest in Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook in the past, there have been no discussions regarding those players in quite some time.
For those into analytics, I can state that approximately 25 percent of my time is spent hearing really cool stories that involve the Celtics — with 75 percent of the time devoted to tracking down how much, if any, truth there is to the 25 percent.
So it’s clear that they have interest, but past that they haven’t done much. Sometimes when we see trigger words like “Interest” we assume that it’s close to happening. It’s times like these where we realise that interest is simply that. Just interest.
