He said that on Pardon My Take which is a joke show. I wouldn't take anything anyone said to seriously there.

A joke show as in they tell sports jokes? So, Griffin was just kidding about Phoenix?

He wasn't. He gave reasons why he likes Phoenix that were not sarcastic.

On a side note, I'm really digging the new UI. Thanks Mori! It separates the responses much more clearly from one another.

I think there is a decent chance Booker becomes a star. Then, maybe Jackson becomes a star. With Griffin, that could be a big 3. But development has to happen. The others need to be solid pieces. In order for this team to succeed, Bledsoe has to quit thinking of himself as a star and think of himself as a complementary player.
Call me a homer or premature but I already think Booker is a star. Give him a couple more years and he will be a superstar and likely the best 2 guard in the league.
You're a premature homer.

Well that DE-ESCULATED quickly. Ultimately probabaly best for the franchise and as much as Griffin is a D-Bag, or seems like one, I don't hold it against the guy to cancel a meeting with us after Clippers offered that money. Probabaly best not to waste our time.

Hope this doesn't lead to us overpaying Millsap

No need for Milsap. Not a superstar. Just a modern day Gugliotta where someone will overpay to hyoe him as a star. No thanks

Thank you, Doc Rivers, for continuing to be a terrible basketball exec and saving us from a terrible mistake. Griffin would have been a poor move to make.

Amen

I think Wooden is in love with the guy. They may have taken showers together in Utah.
