On April 28, Beijing time, after the Nets were swept out of the first round, the place where many free agents went in the offseason also triggered heated discussion among netizens. Among them, Griffin, who was abandoned by Nash for a long time this season and was not enabled until Game 3 of the playoffs, was also believed by many fans outside that he would not continue to stay with the Nets. And his next stop, it is likely to return to the Clippers.
A Clippers fan who launched a recruitment campaign for Griffin on social media posted pictures of griffin's Clippers games and wrote, "@Griffin, go home, join Kawhi Leonard and Paul George." The City of Empty Connections is back and I'm ready. ”
It is worth mentioning the remarks of this fan. He also received praise from Griffin himself, and it seems that he does not seem to be averse to returning to the Clippers.
Griffin was selected by the Clippers in the 2009 NBA Draft, he played for the Clippers for 9 years, violent dunks became a unique landscape in the NBA, and when he teamed up with Paul, he was also considered a promising champion.
But in the end, Griffin was sent to the Pistons by the Clippers in 2018, and although he had a brief shine in the Pistons, he was injured and difficult to reuse, and in order to get a championship ring, Griffin also paid a large salary, and joined the Nets after buying out the contract with the Pistons.
Unfortunately, in the Nets' 2 seasons, although Griffin fought very hard, he still failed to realize his dream of a championship. And the Nets' bizarre maneuvers, combined with nash's use of him, are really hard to hope for, so it's completely understandable if Griffin wants to return to where the dream began.
Today's Clippers, although they lost the playoffs this season, can achieve the 8th place in the regular season in the West when Leonard is reimbursed for the whole season and George is also absent from a large number of games, and the prospects are indeed optimistic. At the same time, the Clippers are indeed lacking in the interior line now, and Griffin has a good chance to be reused by Lu's guidance after his return, whether from the perspective of championship prospects or personal development, the Clippers are indeed Griffin's best choice.
