Nets add Griffin as missing piece
Veteran forward signed to bolster Brooklyn's title run
Normally, adding Blake Griffin to a team that already boasts the likes of Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving would turn the Big Three into the Fantastic Four.
But this version of Griffin, whom Nets general manager Sean Marks officially signed to one of the team’s veteran-minimum contracts Monday, will provide more of a missing piece to Brooklyn’s lineup rather than yet another bonafide NBA superstar.
“We’re fortunate to be able to add a player of Blake’s caliber to our roster at this point in the season,” Marks said in a team-issued statement after the 31-year-old power forward informed the GM that he was Brooklyn-bound.
