Sporting News: C's targeting Griffin, will make major deal soon

[Evantime34]

According to Bulpett

The Boston Celtics remain open to major moves and have expressed interest in Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook in the past, but there have been no discussions regarding either player in quite some time, according to sources.

I'd probably listen to this Bulpett guy, but that's just me. 

On the other hand, legitimate front-office sources -- like the ones Bulpett has access to -- are probably more likely to not spill the beans on something like this. We'll see.

With Bulpett I know with 100% certainty that he got his information from the Celtics. My issue is that he seems to squash trade rumors as soon as they gain any traction. To me it feels like every time a rumor gets out the Celtics go to him and tell him to write a piece squashing the rumor.

So while I do trust that he was told what he reports, I think he is reporting what the team told him rather than the truth. I think FOs don't leak rumors unless they have something to gain in doing so

All the silly lionization on this board of Woj, and he let it rip right down his leg on Horford.

People start considering Bulpett an oracle, and the same thing is going to happen.

Remember who told you first.

I don't think you can really blame him for squashing most rumors, most of them are made-up nonsense that never goes anywhere.  I'd be more concerned if he was always saying that the rumors were true despite them never turning into anything

FWIW Deadmik3 on twitter at 1:12 pm  says deal for Griffin is Bradley, Johnson and Nets '18 pick. "Announcement soon."

I blame him because I love rumors and his favorite past time seems to be taking a dump on any rumor I get excited about

Certainly wouldn't be the first time an organization had a stooge at a newspaper.

Nor the last. Lots of people in the business willing to be the corporate wind-up toy in exchange for a breaking news bone now and then.

Good take. TP.

My larger point with Bulpett being that he has a long & extensive track record with the Celtics and is clearly tied in.  He might not be the go to guy for breaking news, per se, but his tweets & article almost always have a substance to it and I would certainly consider reliable.

Compared to a lot of the crap we're seeing on twitter, Bulpett is almost always a safe bet for quality info and a good follow on twitter.

Let me guess: There's one guy on the "not scared of the truth" list.  His name starts with B.

 Just wondering, because sometimes we can tell from this, did he ever have any Celtics related stuff in his bio or pro pic on Twitter? Because I can't find any atm.
