Six-Time All-Star to Reunite With Celtics Is Requested

The Boston Celtics may try to re-sign a well-known player to help their chances of making the playoffs,

as they have one roster space remaining. Rob Greene of Sports Illustrated proposed that the Celtics sign

six-time NBA All-Star Blake Griffin.

Griffin’s rapport with the players and staff of the Celtics, which would influence a potential reunion,

was described by Greene.

“Griffith addressed how he and Stevens have maintained touch and mutual respect throughout

the years as they headed into the six-time All-Star’s only Celtics season last year. Griffin and several

Celtics players have also maintained strong relationships, according to Greene’s piece from February 1.

Greene then explained why the Celtics would add him. He included that what Griffin brings extends

beyond the basketball court.

“With this championship-eager Celtics’ roster, Griffin once again adds stability within the front court while

bolstering Boston’s interior for any remaining questions. His presence provides tremendous mentorship

while adding another fitting option for the second unit, likely the deepest team in the NBA.

With one open roster spot and limited options to fill it, a reunion with Griffin could prove

the Celtics’ most beneficial move.

During his time with the Los Angeles Clippers and Detroit Pistons, Griffin was a member of six NBA

All-Star teams. Griffin isn’t the same talent anymore, but in 2022–2023 he gave the Celtics solid

frontcourt depth.

Blake Griffin Enjoyed Being a Player in Boston

Blake Griffin enjoyed playing in Boston even though he made the decision not to rejoin the Celtics.

In an interview with Dan Rappoport of Barstool Sports, Griffin waxed poetic about his time spent

with the Celtics.

Boston is amazing, dude. Playing and living in Boston was pretty much the best thing I’ve ever done.

The fans are amazing, dude. having a team that is so intent on winning championships.

The fact that the players on that team are such a fantastic bunch of guys is one of their better qualities.

He was raving about the Celtics when he mentioned how much he respected Jayson Tatum.

Someone who is truly amazing, like Jayson Tatum, but also incredibly humble.

speaks with each member of the team. speaks with every employee.

He would go talk to anyone he was sitting with. He’s not only hanging out with

people like Jaylen Brown or Marcus Smart.

During his time with the Celtics, Griffin experienced the longest postseason run of his NBA career.

Celtics ‘Search for Additional Frontcourt Depth’: Report

Whether they target Blake Griffin or not, NBA Insider Marc Stein reported that they want more

frontcourt depth. However, Stein iterated that they aren’t willing to part with much.

“The Celtics, meanwhile, continue to search for additional frontcourt depth but might

have to rely on various trade exceptions to try to fill the void. Boston is said to be willing

only to part with players on the most nominal contracts in any potential upcoming moves,”

Stein wrote in a February 1 story.

Although Stein did not mention any names, nominal contracts most likely allude to players receiving

the veteran’s minimum salary, or anything close to it. The following athletes suit the description:

Lamar Stevens, Svi Mykhailiuk, Dalano Banton, Oshae Brissett, and Luke Kornet.

Although they don’t have many choices, trading most of those guys might

allow Griffin to make a comeback.
