If this season is any proof, the Nets have cemented themselves as the NBA’s top destination. The addition of six-time All-Star Blake Griffin is the latest example of Brooklyn’s championship appeal.
But the question remains: How meaningful will Griffin be in the Nets’ long-term outlook?
At 31 years of age and following injuries, Griffin may not be the explosive, high-flying impact player he once was with the Clippers and Pistons—but he provides the Nets something they have lacked this season: depth. The Nets have particularly needed size since Jarrett Allen was traded to Cleveland in the James Harden four-team deal.
