The Boston Celtics’ power forward Blake Griffin is likely to get traded to the Golden State Warriors this offseason. The veteran has played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, and Brooklyn Nets, apart from the Celtics. Now, it looks like he will add another team to the list. The Celtics gave Jaylen Brown the most expensive contract in the history of the league. They worked hard throughout the summer and managed to land quality players.
The Boston Celtics also traded in Jrue Holiday from the Portland Trail Blazers recently. Everything has paid off, and they have had a great start to the season. They have won all four of their matches to date and are sitting on the top in the Atlantic Division. It is speculated that they will be parting ways with some players to manage their financial stability. Can they trade Griffin for a start? Can the Warriors make it happen? Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors involving Blake Griffin.
What would the Celtics expect for Blake Griffin?
