Los Angeles Clippers trade rumors: Are the Clippers really moving Griffin?

While rumors continue to circulate that the Los Angeles Clippers are preparing to see life without Blake Griffin, many questions arise.

Naturally, many teams are interested in a player like Griffin as he is one of the best power forwards in the game and can turn any franchise into a decent contender.

There are many teams linked to try and pick up the power forward. The Boston Celtics one of those teams, but if they are to make any move it is likely going to be in the next season.

At the moment, Griffin is signed to a five-year contract and he still has two years left in the deal. Griffin is set to earn around $20.1 million in the coming season, and can choose to terminate the final year of his contract for a possible move.

With that in mind, it is natural that teams will try to go after the five-time All-Star.

Looking at what Griffin brings to the table, he averages 21.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. At 27 years old, many believe that Griffin has yet to reach his prime and can be a much better player in the near future.

The Clippers are now in a position where they might want to cash in on Griffin or risk losing him for nothing.

During his time with the Clippers, Griffin has helped the team reach great heights, sometimes being considered as a true contender to the crown.

Unfortunately, they have failed to replicate their star power with championships, and now people are beginning to question whether the team needs to concentrate on a new look rather than keep going at this recipe without any result.

It is hard for the Clippers to let go of Chris Paul as he remains as one of the best point guards in the league, and center DeAndre Jordan is slowly emerging as one of the best at his position. With that, it may appear that Griffin could be on his way out.
