Unknown Celtics player reportedly told Blake Griffin not to come to Boston
Griffin was reportedly close to join the Celtics before signing for the Nets
Blake Griffin joined the Brooklyn Nets as a free agent this season, but he was reportedly close to opt for the Boston Celtics. According to The Athletic, Griffin asked a Celtics player if he should join the team and was told not to come to Boston because of the apparent dysfunction.
At season’s end, multiple sources close to the players said several members of the locker room were welcoming a coaching change, noting Stevens did not appear to hold key players accountable, with complaints he was favoring Smart over others.
