Love the addition of Blake Griffin for the Celtics. Veteran forward who had no choice but to completely transform his game. Just watch how he was when he got minutes in the series against Boston last year. Brings toughness, experience to locker room. – 11:46 AM

Lasting image is Jaylen Brown relentlessly hunting Blake Griffin in the playoffs. Interesting choice for depth-eroded Celtics. – 11:31 AM

#Celtics up to 13/15 roster spots for the regular season. Someone on the 20 man training camp unit will have to go to make room for Blake Griffin. – 11:29 AM

My guess is Boston went with Blake Griffin over Carmelo Anthony because Griffin has shown he can defend at the five.
Melo would have been more of a Gallo replacement, but Griffin fills a bigger hole on the roster as currently constructed. – 11:23 AM

Boston will need to waive a player to add Blake Griffin, but with six guys on camp deals, that’s easy enough. – 11:21 AM

More on this storyline
Blake Griffin, LaMarcus Aldridge and Carmelo Anthony could serve as mentors for Randle and Obi Toppin. However, the Knicks don’t see any of those vets a good fit at the moment. The 37-year-old Aldridge would make the most sense in the event Randle gets traded because he still could be a serviceable low-post scorer as a backup to Toppin. -via New York Post / September 14, 2022

“The NBA game along with like a red shirt year I mean Blake Griffin did it.” After highlighting several current superstars who sat out their entire rookie year due to injuries but came back stronger, he continued: “That’s what I’m saying and to go through a redshirt year in a league where you have no problem and you just keep working out and if they’re prepping for you. Man, he’s in a great situation because they’re building a future based on him.” -via SportsKeeda / September 5, 2022
