Report: Miami Heat among teams showing interest in Nets Blake Griffin
With NBA Free Agency just around the corner, teams are looking to re-bolster their rosters to make a postseason impact next year and it seems that Eastern Conference finalists’, the Miami Heat, are looking to get Blake Griffin from the Nets.
NBA insider Sean Deveney reports that Griffin made quite an impact on his value in his limited minutes against the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA playoffs.
According to Deveney the Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics, the Heat, and the Los Angeles Lakers are the four organizations drawing interest in the slashing veteran.
An anonymous Eastern Conference executive told Heavy:
“He made a big, big impression around the league with the way he played against Boston, even though it was just a couple of games.”
The Heat are the “most likely” organization to pursue Griffin with the upcoming likely departure of P.J. Tucker. He is being pursued heavily by the Philadelphia 76ers.
Griffin is a seasoned veteran who brings leadership and experience to any roster that chooses to pick him up this free agency. He averaged 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in two games in the playoffs after being out of the rotation for a majority of the season.
