The Los Angeles Lakers were interested in Blake Griffin twice in the last three seasons, unfortunately both times the two sides could not find a common voice.

One of the 30 technical directors in the NBA who has "contributed" to the Los Angeles Lakers about the next target in the transfer market, the name is both suitable for the PF/C position that the Lakers are looking for, and also a model. Seasoned player with good character.

The person mentioned here is Blake Griffin, a former Rookie of the Year with six All-Stars and just played the last season for the Boston Celtics, the team that reached the Eastern finals last season.

"Blake Griffin hasn't signed a team yet and I think it's the right choice for both the Los Angeles Lakers and the player personally," said the GM, who asked not to be named.

“Blake will be the perfect puzzle piece for the Lakers squad depth problem. They are in need of a multitasking and experienced bigman. The two have been connected before. Now I think the two sides need each other and can find a common voice."

The Los Angeles Lakers have been interested in Blake Griffin twice in the last three seasons. The first time was when Griffin liquidated his contract with the Detroit Pistons in 2021. The second time was right last summer when Blake was a free agent.

Unfortunately, both sides could not find a common voice, so that the player born in 1989 wore the Brooklyn Nets (2021-22) and the Boston Celtics (2022-23) shirt respectively.

Although past the peak of his form, Blake Griffin can still bring a lot of positive value when used sparingly.

Last season, he played an average of 14 minutes per game for the Celtics (41 appearances), both as a piece of the puzzle to increase squad depth and as an important factor in making the dressing room more cohesive.

Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown have never stopped talking about Griffin, saying: "He always knows how to spread a sense of responsibility and positive energy to us as the younger members of the team. I feel very fortunate. Lucky to have him as a teammate."

With one spot on the official list of 15 players, the Los Angeles Lakers are looking for a multi-tasking striker alongside the duo Anthony Davis and Jaxson Hayes.

The goal of the yellow and purple shirt team is a bigman who can play at 4 and 5 positions, both helping to protect the basketball board in defense, and playing the role of someone to stretch the opponent's squad in attack.

Blake Griffin is a bit short in height (2m06), but has muscles to make up for it. In addition, he brings a lot of positive value in experience, which is essential for the Lakers' championship competition next season.
