Blake Griffin is one of the favorite picks for NBA trade rumors. Earlier reports claimed that the LA Clippers power forward will either be heading to Chicago Bulls or Toronto Raptors. However, recent reports suggest that Bulls is not interested with Griffin.
According to the Bitbag, no NBA team would say "no" to Black Griffin. The power forward did well last season despite his injuries. However, Los Angeles Lakers is concerned that Griffin will not be able to give his full potential so they are willing to trade him for other players.
"We have a priority of trying to just keep making our team better. Obviously, because of the injuries - Blake's in particular - we literally don't know what we could have done. Even during the playoffs, he still wasn't a hundred percent," Doc Rivers said per the Associated Press.
Parent Herald previously reported that Raptors have high chances of signing Blake Griffin. However, apart from Toronto, Chicago Bulls is also interested in getting Griffin's service that they are willing to trade Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic.
However, per the Bitbag, Chicago Bulls had never considered Blake Griffin. Initially, many believe that the team would sign up Griffin because sources claimed that they are adding a strong player to their roster. However, the strong player turned to be Miami Heat's shooting guard Dwayne Wade.
Fred Hoiberg told Chicago Tribune that they only have one goal in the upcoming NBA season and that is to win. They need one "who has the hot hand." Of course, they need one who can play for the team throughout the season. Blake Griffin missed 41 games last season due to his injury, which is a point against him. However, his condition is expected to be better in the upcoming season.
While Bulls is very happy to have Dwayne Wade on their roster and excited to get him on board, Miami Heat regrets letting LeBron James' pal go. According to reports, Miami Heat president Pat Riley regrets not pushing more in negotiations to keep Wade.
Even LeBron James expressed his disbelief of how Miami Heat let go of Dwayne Wade. Now, with Wade in Chicago, there are rumors that soon we will see James and Wade's reunion in Bulls.
