Move over, Russell Westbrook. You’re not the only athlete rumored to be shipping up to Boston.
Los Angeles Clippers All-Star big man Blake Griffin could be in green next season, if the latest Blake-to-Boston Celtics whispers are true.
Here’s this, from RealGM’s Keith Smith.
Hearing some rumors here in Las Vegas that BOS is talking Blake Griffin again. And this time it could be a 3 way with SAC getting R. Gay.

To clarify my earlier tweet: BOS would get Griffin, LAC would get Gay and SAC would get Crowder. Other pieces also involved.

We’re not going to sit here and give Smith a hard time for this report. Sources say what sources say. But moving Blake Griffin to acquire Rudy Gay doesn’t just sound like a terrible trade — it is one.
The Clippers are title contenders — super team in Golden State notwithstanding — and unless they’re blowing things up (and even if they are), you can be sure that type of return is unrealistic.
But, hey, it’s July. What else are we going to talk about?
