On August 16, Blake Griffin again remains a free agent available for any NBA team to sign.
Griffin played for the Brooklyn Nets last season, but he’s no longer the player he was when he played for the Los Angeles Clippers and Detroit Pistons.
I think the Memphis Grizzlies should consider adding the six-time NBA All-Star.
Why?
The Grizzlies have a 23-year-old rising star in Ja Morant, who started in the All-Star Game in his third NBA season.
They have a young roster, but they were the second seed in the Western Conference last season.
At one time, Griffin was one of the most exciting players in all of basketball.
Right now, Morant is one of the most exciting players in the NBA.
For starters, it would be cool to see them in the pick and roll together.
However, the real reason they should consider signing him is because of depth and veteran leadership.
The Grizzlies are a young team, so it would be nice to have a player on the roster who is a former All-Star.
Last season, the 33-year-old averaged 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in just over 17 minutes per game.
I think he could be a very good role player for the Grizzlies.
At the end of his free agency move, he will most likely sign a one-year minimum contract.
Memphis isn’t a big market city like New York or Los Angeles, but they could be a great fit for Griffin.
