Just finished talking to a friend who is a big fan of Blake Griffin. Told him he is a free agent now.
What team do you think this 2009 number 1 draft pick will end up to?
He is just 33 years old, may not be a strong impact on the offensive end but he may be able to still help defensively.

Perhaps the Chicago Bulls? we all know that Blake is already way past his prime, his best years where with the Clippers with CP3. But when he got injured, no more high flying acts for him, but he did try to evolved and be a good 3 point shooter and a defender just like what he did with the Nets.

And the Bulls needed some veteran and experience players. Especially in close out games and during the playoff as well. If some savvy veteran like Blake can mentor Lavine and him also helping like in defense and rebounds in like 10-15 minutes a game, he will be a big help for the Bulls.

Blake still has a career IMO, he can still be useful to any team, and the fact that he is not expensive as he was before, he can easily be added to a roster of a team that needs an experienced big man. How about the Warriors? Maybe that will give him a chance to win a championship since the Warriors are a great team.
Good choices. Bulls need a veteran while the Warriors are aiming for cheap players but could contribute even just on the defensive end.
Perhaps they could offer him a veteran minimum contract like Iggy.
Oh and speaking of Iggy, there also no offer for him yet but he is joking around about going back to the Warriors 1 more time.

So to conclude, Griffin should be aiming for teams with young players and help out by feeding veteran perspective.
Sad to see it turning out like that after his high flying career.
