4. Blake Griffin
If you would have asked me this before the Chris Paul trade to the Houston Rockets, I would’ve given you a different answer. But, as early reports indicate, the Clippers plan on putting on the full-court press in order to re-sign Blake.
Blake will reportedly meet with the Phoenix Suns as free agency opens July 1, but I feel like this is more of a meeting in order to apply pressure on LA in order to ensure that he gets that 5th year offer.
If the Clippers extend that to him, he’d probably accept it in a second. We may have some back and forth on this front, but expect to see Blake back in LA.
Prediction: LA Clippers
