On Monday, the Los Angeles Clippers traded Blake Griffin to the Detroit Pistons in a blockbuster deal that featured Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, and draft picks.
Several players, including LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, have since publicly reacted to the news:
When a player gets traded, it’s they was doing what’s best for the franchise. But when a player decides to leave, it’s, ‘He’s not loyal. He’s a snake. He’s not committed.’ It’s just, that’s the narrative of how it goes. So I’m definitely (aware). I know that firsthand.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had some advice for Blake Griffin moving to Detroit. 😂
