A day after speculation over a Russell Westbrook-to-the-Celtics deal ran rampant, comes a report that the Celtics likely trade target is again Clippers forward Blake Griffin and that a “major deal involving Boston is coming soon.”
Sean Deveney of The Sporting News, citing “front-office sources,” reports a possibility of a three-team package with the Sacramento Kings that includes sending Rudy Gay to the Clippers.
More from Deveney’s report:
The Celtics would give up some number of their upcoming draft picks, but opposing front-office members say they don't want to give up either Brooklyn pick Boston can own in the next two years.
On Westbrook, Deveney reports that "Westbrook’s representatives have been given no word of a potential deal."
