I truthfully don't see Griffin coming to Boston at all.
One, while he would be a perfect fit here and help us out a ton in the front court, Ainge has to be real wary about giving him a 4-year max with all the injury issues he's had recently, and currently as well.
Two, I just think he loves LA a ton, and will stay there anyways, or even if he leaves, may go somewhere else like maybe Miami? Doc will no doubt try his best to keep 2 of his "Big 3" (Griffin, Paul) and may try to add Carmelo as a last ditch effort to get over the hump next year.
Meanwhile, if Utah gets bounced out in the first round, losing 3 of their last 4 to a Griffin-less Clippers team, then hey, it might help us a bit in the Hayward sweepstakes.
And lets be real, if Clippers advance, they'll probably get spanked and swept by the Warriors, and maybe that can also convince Griffin to go elsewhere and maybe Boston comes knocking.So I think BEST case scenario is rooting for LAC to win Game 7, then get swept by the Warriors What do you guys think? It obviously doesn't guarantee anything but IMO gives us our best shot at either Griffin/Hayward this summer (to go along with 2017 BKN Pick - Pray for Fultz!)
P.S - Oh, and Paul Pierce can play some more games as a result too!
