Report: Warriors interested in Blake Griffin after buyout from Detroit
Following the buyout of Blake Griffin from the Detroit Pistons, the Golden State Warriors are reported to be interested in the six-time All-Star, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
First reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Warriors join the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, and Portland Trail Blazers as potential suitors that Griffin will be considering for his next home.
Though the Warriors have reported interest in Griffin, the Brooklyn Nets are reported to be the leader in the clubhouse to sign him, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The Brooklyn Nets are believed to be leaders to sign six-time All-Star Blake Griffin, sources tell me and @JLEdwardsIII. Rival teams with interest are expecting Griffin to choose Nets as a title favorite for chance to win a championship.
