All-Star forward Blake Griffin is scheduled to meet with the Suns this Saturday, a league source tells Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times. After exercising his early termination option last week, Griffin will hit the open market as an unrestricted free agent.
Although the Clippers remain optimistic about signing Griffin even after the Chris Paul trade, the 28-year-old forward could very well bring a formal end to Lob City by signing a deal elsewhere.
The Suns boast an intriguing young core with Devin Booker and Josh Jackson and could look to climb out of the lottery with the addition of an established star like Griffin. Griffin averaged 21.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game last season in a third consecutive injury-plagued campaign.
Jackson and Griffin would be insane.
Chriss,Bledsoe and draft picks for George?
I could see that but they might have to add a bit more salary if they also want to sign Griffin. Maybe if you add an unprotected first or two you could get them to take on Knight.
Why on earth would they get George when they just drafted Josh Jackson? You are a genius and no he won’t play the 2 because Booker is there.
Josh Jackson doesn’t have to start as a rookie… a big three of booker, George and Grifffin can compete. Idk why you are so angry
I’m not angry just makes no sense to draft a guy #4 and have him on the bench.
It’s not like it’s unheard of
This literally just happened to Jaylen Brown last year drafted at #3 overall. The celtics made t to the Eastern Cinfernece Championship. Your logic is flawed
Because Ainge can’t decide if he wants to rebuild or win now.
No.
Normally number 1-5 aren’t drafted by a contending team, that’s why Brown didn’t start for the Celtics. It has no nothing to do with rebuild or win now, they just had better players than a rookie.
Plus he played with Bledsoe in LA if I’m not mistaken. If they add that to the article please don’t yell at me and tell me to read. It’s not there now.
Always hurt. Depends what have to pay him and more importantly have to get rid of to make room.
Don’t do it PHX
Please Suns. Don’t sign Griffin. He is already hurt. Not a nice person. He won’t fit in.
Please noooo Chriss and Bender need playing time !!!!!!
They would need a great PG , wing and C
We have 2 great wings in Warren and Jackson and 2 great PG in Ulis and Bledsoe the one thing that we need is a rebounder a shotblocker ala Drummond or Whiteside !
Thank you Lord!!!
