Blake Griffin Expected to Sign with the Brooklyn Nets, NBA Finals Odds Rise

The rich get richer, as the Brooklyn Nets may add another marquee name to their roster. Shams Charania has reported that the Nets will likely sign six-time All Star Blake Griffin to an already loaded roster. Griffin will join James Harden as mid-season acquisitions to join Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, as the Nets look to build a roster to win in the NBA playoffs.

Let’s take a look at what could be an imminent signing in the NBA.

 

Blake Griffin To Sign in Brooklyn?

The Nets cannot possibly get any better, right? Wrong. After Blake Griffin was bought out by the Detroit Pistons, Shams Charania reported that the Brooklyn Nets are the favorites to sign him, and he is expected to choose Brooklyn as his new home. Griffin has not been good this year for the Pistons, but were there reasons for that? Had he given up in Detroit? Time will tell, but Griffin has had one of his least efficient years in his entire career and has been passed by Jerami Grant as the go-to option when he is in the lineup.

When Griffin was healthy, he was one of the most electrifying players in basketball.

The Nets are not currently favorites to win the NBA Finals, but they may be after the All Star break. After adding Blake Griffin to an already loaded roster with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden…the Nets will be tough to beat. The question remains, there is only one ball, will all players be happy?

It does not seem to be a problem for the Nets so far, as they are playing quite well even with Kevin Durant out. Look for James Harden to Blake Griffin alley-oops, as Griffin looks to return to the form that made him a perennial All Star in the NBA.
