One of the latest NBA trade rumors is that Blake Griffin will be joining the New York Knicks soon if current negotiations are successful. The LA Clippers has big decisions to make since the contract of Griffin, along with Chris Paul are due for an extension. However, the team's management has indicated that they don't want the two to go anywhere.
Blake Griffin's Stats Are Going Down
Griffin's place in the league's best power forward ranking has fallen off. There were lots of varied reasons that affected his performance last year. Team suspensions and injuries are just two of them. The team suspended Griffin due to the altercation he had with a staff. He has since regretted his actions and promises to do better.
The Los Angeles Clippers are still considered one of the best teams in the Western Conference despite losing to the Portland Trailblazers in this year's first round NBA Playoffs. But Griffin has been the subject of a lot of NBA trade rumors. Now, the rumor is that he will be traded for Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah of the New York Knicks.
Griffin May Form The Big Three With Anthony And Rose
If this deal pushes through, Griffin will be joining the Knicks to form a Big Three with Rose and Anthony. The New York Knicks would have a big boost in their campaign to dethrone the dominance in the Eastern Conference of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Knicks' fans will have many reasons to believe that their team can go all the way this coming season.
The LA Clippers Is Still Hopeful
Doc Rivers, head coach of the LA Clippers still have high hopes that his team has the best chances of winning a title this upcoming season. But the reality is that loyalty is not the first priority in winning an NBA championship. No matter what NBA trade rumors spread around, the Clippers must be prepared to empty its bank accounts to persuade Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to stay.
