LA Clippers' Blake Griffin has been the subject of numerous NBA trade rumors, and linking him to another known basketball team is no exception. Even Dwayne Wade's name also got involved in the mix.
The Chicago Bulls is reportedly setting its sights on Griffin and Wade to complete its roster of noted NBA players. Yet, the Clippers' coach, Doc Rivers, has again stamped on the issue of Blake Griffin going to play for the Bulls when the new NBA season starts, says Playerline.
Rivers pointed out that the LA Clippers are aware of the untrue nature of the Griffin trade rumors, with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin becoming free agents post-season. He also said that fellow NBA team, Oklahoma Thunder, already had their share of the said NBA trade rumors last time and it was the Clippers getting highlighted on this time around. The Los Angeles Clippers coach is further confident that Griffin would likely return to the team, even after his contract is up by this summer.

Although the Bulls have put up Nikola Mirotic and Taj Gibson in lieu of Blake Griffin to join their team, the Clippers have carefully evaded the decision and had let the momentum passed, reports Sportsrageous. Meanwhile, Dwayne Wade has officially joined the Chicago Bulls. Wade has given up his spot on Miami Heat's roster and is already slated to play for the Bulls by next season as a new point guard.

Wade is also joined by Jimmy Butler (Guard-Forward) and Rajon Rondo (Guard) for the Chicago Bulls. While head coach Fred Hoiberg is a bit skeptical on how to bring out the best in all three players, he stated that great players are good at the drive to win and each will play according to their abilities plus demonstrate sportsmanship on the courts.
