Blake Griffin remains to be one of the hot picks for this NBA offseason. NBA trade rumors suggest that the Los Angeles Clippers power forward could possibly land to OKC Thunder, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls or Orlando Magic.
Well, it seems that Orlando Magic is desperate to have Blake Griffin because according to reports, they are willing to trade two of their players to get Clippers five-time NBA All-Star. Per Yibada, Magic wants Griffins so badly that they are willing to trade their center Nikola Vucevic and power forward Aaron Gordon.
The reports have it that several NBA teams will try to sign Black Griffin under their wings when the player hits the free agency in the summer of 2017. In fact, according to Inquisitr, aside from Magic, three teams from the NBA league are planning to get Griffin, including Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder.
Parent Herald previously reported that Oklahoma City Thunder is also interested in adding Blake Griffin to their roster. OKC believes that the Clippers who is a native from Oklahoma could be a great partner for Russell Westbrook who has to endure this NBA season without Kevin Durant. Durant left the Thunder to join the super team, Golden State Warriors.
Meanwhile, in a separate report from Parent Herald, Chicago Bulls is also interested to add Blake Griffin to their roster. In fact, the team is willing to trade Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic just to have a taste of Griffin in the next NBA season.
When Blake Griffin hits the free agency next season, these four teams are expected to compete. Thus, it would be a tough battle for Thunder, Celtics, Bulls and Magic.
"The Thunder won't be alone if Griffin hits the open market. The Boston Celtics have long had eyes for Griffin, and there has been talk that the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls would also make a hard push at Griffin. Coincidentally, both teams have tradable assets now if the Clippers decide they want to consider a trade," Basketball Insiders reported.
When Blake Griffin hits the open market next summer, in what NBA team do you think will he sign? Do you want him to play alongside Russell Westbrook for the Thunder? Do you want him to share the court with Dwayne Wade in Chicago Bulls? Will it be good for Griffin to be with Magic or Celtics instead? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
