The Brooklyn Nets just got even scarier. Six time All-Star Blake Griffin and the Brooklyn Nets have agreed to a deal for the remainder of the season. Griffin was recently last playing for the Detroit Pistons as the Pistons and Griffin recently agreed to part ways and bought out his remaining contract.
Griffin has had a down year with the Pistons averaging 12.2 PPG and 5.2 RPG, but now he will be contributing to one of the top teams in the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets. Griffin is set to join Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and former Clipper teammate DeAndre Jordan in their hopes to bring Brooklyn an NBA championship.
My Thoughts
I was not surprised about this at all.
It was time for Blake Griffin and the Detroit Pistons to part ways. The Pistons are a young team looking to build for the future, while the Blake Griffin is near the end of his career, looking to win a championship.
Blake Griffin has been “eh” this year. He’s a starter for an NBA team or a solid role player, but he is NO WHERE close to where he was a few years ago with the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Brooklyn Nets are looking scary. I think this makes them the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference. Not only could they win the East, but they could win the NBA title.
With a dominant scoring Big 3 in Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving, how are you stopping them? Then you have DeAndre Jordan, Joe Harris, and now Blake Griffin to the mix, this team is not to mess around with.
The Nets still need to bring in another guy or two to really secure the East, but that James Harden is now paying off. Just to think if Spencer Dinwiddie didn’t get hurt.
For the Pistons, it’s time to tank and time to bring in another piece through free agency or trade. But the question is, for who?
