When Griffin arrived at Staples Center for his free-agency pitch meeting on July 1, he found the Clippers had erected something of a maze for him with temporary walls. Griffin walked his 3-year-old son, Ford, through the art gallery-style corridors, and found photos hanging at each turn: Griffin on his green Huffy bike with his brother, Taylor, when they were kids; Griffin playing in college; Griffin as a Clipper.

The maze spit Griffin out onto a couch overlooking the Staples Center court, above the lower bowl. Crowd noise pumped in. The team's public address announcer declared the Clippers were retiring Griffin's number. Team employees raised an actual banner into the rafters -- a vision of the future they wanted.

"It was a cool feeling," Griffin says. "It was very thoughtful. But I really wanted to hear their plan. I wanted to talk basketball." So he did, for two hours, with Rivers, West, Ballmer and Lawrence Frank, the team's president of basketball operations.

lol know your audience. that stuff seems so corny but idk i guess some guys eat it up?

also like... they were offering a max deal only they could offer to a guy w/ like 28 surgeries, i can't imagine it was much of a decision either way

Bogdan Bogdanovic seems good

strong rookie class for otherwise insanely talented players with broken jumpers

Porzingis seems he’s a top 10 player now

The Knicks look so much better with Jack in the lineup. The offense is crisp.

he's nothing special but he's a solid vet, helps stabilize a lot of things

Kanter/Zinger front-court is hella crazy levels of offense

kanter is a beast on the glass too

I believe in the Aaron Gordon thing at this point

yeah probably the most improved player ive seen so far this year.

they were playing him out of position all last year

lol at terry rozier taking over the game

breaking news the spurs need kawhi back they got no one who can create

further breaking news celtics r dope

celtics will win the nba playoffs

btw

knicks twitter losing their shit as the knicks reach 500

Jeez

knicks fans are the best it doesnt make any sense that they are the way they are

Dolan

ben simmons FT form may be worse than Fultz

nice win 76ers on the road over Rox

Feel that the refs have figured out how to officiate Harden. FTA down 4.6 from last yr. 12 FTA tonight that last yr. would have been 16-18.

good new if so, enjoy them not giving that continuation jumper call altogether

Blazers offense in 2nd quarter against the Raptors is deader than Rutherford B. Hayes.

lol wow the legendary 6 point quarter

It seems like Nurkic losing weight was a bad idea

Currrrrrrrrrrrry

jordan bell is so fun to watch

bros i have watched like one NBA game so far this season med school sucks help

wow man v depressing is there an end in sight?

after tonight i'll have worked like 100 hours in the past 8 days but then i have until next monday off so i will be watching some hoops for sure 8-)

thats insanity

You know who's been lights out so far? Jonathon Simmons

def not sustainable but cool to see him succeed

Why don't you think it's sustainable

everyone on the magic is shooting like 55% and 50% from 3, if it's sustainable then we have a true challenger to the warriors

exactly, he'll be a useful piece for sure but he's not gonna shoot 50%. he shot 29% on 102 attempts last year

Pray for Cole Aldrich (@Timberwolves): Every birthday is a gift from God @colea45! Hope yours is blessed & happy. #NBAPrayers pic.twitter.com/YkP0Di7pkD

hb bb

exactly, he'll be a useful piece for sure but he's not gonna shoot 50%.

sure but I think he'll do more than just shoot threes

yeah i just meant his shooting %s aren't sustainable

you know ive just been meditating on how great al horford has been so far he looks really spry and active and maybe a lil lighter, i hope they can keep his minutes low so he stays in top form all year :)

tho he was also great in the playoffs so i think some of it is just comfort level with playing in the celtics system

its really too bad gordon hayward isnt here to see what the celtics are building rip

theyll be that much better next year when he's back and those two young wings are in full swing with tons of experience under their belt.

yeah still a possibility he cld return this year too tho obvs its doubtful hed be at full strength

they cld really use him particularly for star staggering purposes some of these bench units theyre rolling out are pretty brutal
