Exit Wounds: A Blake Griffin Story 
Posted on January 31, 2018 at 05:51 AM.


The Los Angeles Clippers shook up the N.B.A. on Monday 29th January 2018, just over a week before the league’s annual trade deadline, by swinging a blockbuster deal to send the face of their franchise, Blake Griffin, to the Detroit Pistons.

The Clippers have exceeded expectations so far this season with a record of 25-24 in the wake of Chris Paul’s off-season departure, but team officials decided to begin an aggressive roster shake-up with a major trade.

The trade came just seven months after Griffin signed a five-year, $171 million contract to stay with the Clippers.

The team referred to Griffin as “a lifelong Clipper” in the free-agent recruiting pitch it made to him last summer, but the club abruptly changed course when it had the opportunity to acquire two starting-caliber players from the Pistons in Harris and Bradley as well as Detroit’s first-round pick in June’s draft.

This will be a player lock story of Blake's continued career in the NBA as a Detroit Piston. Blake has been shipped out to Detroit with broken promises, broken friendships and broken dreams. This is Exit Wounds: A Blake Griffin Story.
