While he only played in 18 games for the Detroit Pistons last season due to a lingering knee issue that he had surgically fixed, Blake Griffin still possesses NBA All-Star talent and could be an interesting player that winds up hitting the trade market at some point during the 2020-21 NBA season. 

During the 2018-19 NBA season, in which Griffin played 75 games, he averaged 24.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists and shot 46.2% from the floor, 36.2% from three-point range. 

Blake Griffin made the NBA All-Star game that season and with him saying that he is 100% healthy entering the year, he could wind up being viewed as a very valuable asset for a championship-contending team. Given that his recent full season resulted in him being an All-Star, the Pistons may wait until the trade deadline to make any decision on Griffin’s future with the organization.

While Griffin could end up helping the Pistons as they build for the future, they are in no shape to contend for a championship at least for the next few years and as a result, they might as well move on from the 31-year old forward and his massive contract. 

He is under contract this upcoming season for $36.5M, making it hard to find a suitable trade partner, and he also has a $39M player option for the 2021-22 NBA season. In any trade for Griffin, it will be difficult for teams to trade for him because of the financial restrictions with trades. 

However, there are still a handful of teams that could trade for Griffin and would be perfect destinations for the former NBA All-Star. Here are 4 teams who should strongly pursue a trade for Pistons forward Blake Griffin.
