The Golden State Warriors, one of the NBA’s most iconic teams, is considering an addition that could shake things up. As the preseason atmosphere grows tense with teams competing to finalize their rosters, sources confirm that Blake Griffin, the former high-flying LA Clippers superstar and 14-year NBA veteran, is on the Warriors’ radar.
Having spent his last season with the Boston Celtics, where he played in 41 games and started 16, Griffin has transitioned from being the star player to more of a supporting role. It’s been a long journey for Griffin since his sensational days with the Clippers, but the possibility of heading back to the Western Conference is now on the horizon.
This wouldn’t just be any return. The Warriors recently made headlines by acquiring Chris Paul, the floor general and Griffin’s former teammate from the Lob City era. With the Warriors’ move, the stage is set for a potential reunion that would spark memories of amazing alley-oops and intense playoff battles.
However, the last spot on the Warriors’ roster is a highly competitive one. Young talents from the G-League, Lester Quinones and Jerome Robinson, are also vying for it. This move, primarily seen as a strategy to help with luxury tax savings, is crucial for the team’s financial structure.
Multiple franchises, including the Clippers, Celtics, and Philadelphia Sixers, are also rumored to be closely watching Griffin’s status. A return to the Clippers, the team that once proclaimed him as the future, would indeed be a poetic twist in Griffin’s already illustrious career.
NBA fans weigh in on Blake Griffin’s potential signing
As news of Griffin’s potential signing with the Warriors spreads, NBA fans have taken to social media to voice their opinions, reflecting the conflict and nostalgia the move evokes.
One NBA fan tweeted, “Warriors are a retirement home.” While meant humorously, it points to a growing belief among some that the team is relying too much on veteran players who are past their prime. The potential reunion of Paul and Griffin, once dubbed the “Lob City” duo, has drawn both excitement and skepticism.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
However, some fans feel that adding Griffin might change the team dynamics. The balance between experience and youth, legacy and the future, has always been a tricky one for NBA teams.
Whatever the outcome, one thing is clear – the NBA community will be watching Golden State’s next move closely.
