Detroit Pistons
Christmas wishlist: Finding a landing spot for Blake Griffin
As the Detroit Pistons head into another year of rebuild, I’m not sure there’s another thing that the team needs at this point then a trade of Blake Griffin. Even though Griffin has been good for the team as a whole, when he’s been healthy, there’s just so much more that he could offer in the way of a trade for this team.
The Pistons will likely not be in the running for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference this season. Even with a healthy Blake Griffin, this team simply isn’t talented enough to break through in the Eastern Conference. That said, there are more than a few teams that would be assisted by the presence of Griffin in the locker room.
All it takes is one team to be interested and depending on what the Pistons would be interested in return, it’s not that far-fetched of an idea. The Pistons did a great job during the 2020 NBA draft to get this rebuild going, but they can’t really take the next big step in the progression without trading Blake Griffin.
