Detroit Pistons’ forward Blake Griffin drew attention to the attitudes toward small- and large-market NBA teams in an appearance on comedian Neal Brennan’s podcast, “How Neal Feel,” Monday.
No stranger to the abrupt ways of the NBA trade market, Griffin has no qualms with players who want to take more control away from front offices when it comes to determining their fates. However, Griffin does seem troubled when that control is used to abandon small-market teams for the glamour of larger-markets.
When asked about his trade from Los Angeles to Detroit, Griffin lamented the sympathy he received.
