Blake Griffin On Hearing About Trade: 'Finding Out Through Twitter' Is Tough

In an interview with ESPN's Nick Friedell, Blake Griffin said he learned about being traded from the Clippers to the Pistons on Twitter.

"I just wish I had known or had the opportunity to talk to somebody beforehand," Griffin told Friedell. "Finding out through Twitter or through other people is a tough way to find out when you've been with a franchise for so long."

On Monday, the Clippers traded Griffin, Brice Johnson and Willie Reed to Detroit for Avery Bradly, Tobias Harris, Boban Marjanovich, a first-round pick and a 2019 second-round pick.
