When the NBA offseason arrives, Blake Griffin will become a free agent. This may induce the Los Angeles Clippers to put him on the trading block before the trade deadline. That is why recent NBA trade rumors are linking the Clippers' power forward to the Boston Celtics saying that there are recent talks between the two teams in this regard.
NBA Trade Rumors Suggest Griffin Is What The Celtics Need
Recent reports indicate that the Celtics are thinking of acquiring Griffin. They say he is the type of player that could induce Danny Ainge, Celtics president, to exchange some of his future draft picks. But there is no surety that this deal will push through since the Celtics will only take Griffin if he is willing to sign a long-term contract. The Clippers, on the other hand, seems intent on keeping Griffin if there is no attractive offer from interested NBA teams.
The Portland Trailblazers Are Placing Lillard On Their Trading Block
Other NBA trade rumors are suggesting that the Portland Trailblazers are putting Damian Lillard on their trading block. In the past, many have assumed that Lillard was untouchable as far as trade deals are concerned. But now, reports are saying that the Trailblazers are considering offers for the point guard.
The Minnesota Timberwolves Could Use Another Point Guard
These NBA trade rumors suggest that the Minnesota Timberwolves could make use of the talents and skills of Lillard. They are one of the NBA teams that need a franchise point guard to bolster their point production. This team seems to be weak on their point guard slot. The infusion of Lillard in their ranks could be one of the keys to increasing their stats.
The Timberwolves Don't Have The Luxury Of Time
It seems that the Timberwolves has hinged their future with Kris Dunn, their current point guard. But some NBA trade rumors say that passing up the chance of acquiring Lillard from the Trailblazers could slow down their trek to the future. The trade deadline is about here, so the Timberwolves does not have the luxury of time to pursue other options.
