Blazers free agent center option No. 2: Blake Griffin – the proven veteran mentor

Blake Griffin’s journey in the NBA has been nothing short of remarkable. From a high-flying dunker to a seasoned veteran with a refined skill set, Griffin has adapted and evolved his game to remain relevant in the league.

Griffin would offer a wealth of experience and mentorship to the Blazers. His basketball IQ and understanding of the game would be invaluable to the younger players on the roster. His leadership qualities, both on and off the court, would provide stability during this transitional phase for PDX.

Financially, Griffin’s price tag will likely be more affordable than it was in his prime years. Plus, from a business perspective, having a potential Hall of Famer on the team will help fill the Moda Center, and Griffin jerseys are sure to sell.

This makes him an attractive option for the Blazers, who could benefit from his experience without breaking the bank.
