What’s up basketball fans! I am here again @dwin0603 to give you another exciting basketball discussion for another episode of NBA Talk, and today we will talk about some hot rumors including the names of Pistons’ front courts Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond. Let’s do this!
The Detroit Pistons once again combine two of the best big men in the NBA getting Blake Griffin from the Los Angeles Clippers to pair with their superstar big man Andre Drummond. Detroit created a supposed to be a dominant front court that could lift them up in the Eastern Conference which will get them back to the playoffs. But after some high hopes, it looks like a failure again just like what happened to Drummond and Greg Monroe back then. Even with Griffin and Drummond, Detroit still struggles in the Eastern conference standing at 9th place with a record of 21-27. With the kinds of talents they have in their roster, they should’ve been one of the teams to beat in the East but it was all a failure.
According to Brandon Robinson, there are signs that Blake wants out of Detroit. Detroit is not an ideal city that will attract players and the Pistons is a franchise that was long lost of success or a franchise that has been unsuccessful for the past decade. I truly understand why Blake wants out. Robinson said that he is hearing rumblings in Detroit that Blake does not want to be with the Pistons and one issue there is because of team chemistry.
If the Pistons decides to trade Blake, there will be a lot of options out there. I think the best destinations for him are Dallas or New York. New York is a great city and a great franchise and it will bring him back to a big market where a lot of opportunities can welcome him. The Knicks is a great team waiting for another superstar to come and lead them. It will be great for both sides.
Dallas is also another great destination for him because he can feel the winning culture again in Dallas, and of course it’s a great destination because of Luka Doncic. That would be a terrific duo if Dallas acquired Blake. He can also reunite with his fellow LAC big man DeAndre Jordan. There’s still no clear statement from Griffin that he really wants out so let’s see if this rumor is true. Watch out for the February trade deadline!
That is all for today folks! What do you think? Will the Pistons trade Griffin? It’s getting more exciting in the NBA as the trade deadline comes near. I would love to hear your reactions and opinions about this one so drop your comments now and let’s have some basketball talk! 😊
I’ll leave you with some Blake Griffin highlights in Detroit.
