Well every legitimate writer I've seen address this thing has already come out to say the twitter/realgm troll rumors about Blake Griffin were baseless. But for those waiting for the most respected of the respectable to chime in, here's some excerpts from Woj's latest podcast with Doc Rivers.
Doc Rivers was asked about trade rumors involving Blake Griffin and his future with the Los Angeles Clippers.
"One, I'm glad you asked the question," said Rivers. "It's funny, you don't want to go out and send out a press release every time there's a rumor about Blake. We're hoping Blake ends his career playing for the Clippers. Period. So when teams call, we say we have no interest.
"First of all, no team is calling right now because teams know we don't have any interest. It just tells you the different times, you know. Things have changed. Everyone believes that they're media now. I feel for guys like you. There's so many good credible guys and there's some of the guys that are bloggers that have nothing to do with the sport. I had my young son trace where this started, the Blake rumor to Boston.
"Danny and I have talked twice this summer. One was about the British Open and one was about another golf tournament. That's about it. But my son traced it to a Boston radio talk show and the guy didn't say that we had been talking, he said Blake was one of the guys that Boston should go after. That started the next step to the next step. That stuff is tough."

SHOCKING!
I mean seriously what do you expect Doc to say? I am not saying I believe the rumors or whatever people are saying, but how does this impact anything? He obviously can't say he is going to trade him or is even thinking about it. That just hurts his value and destroys his morale if it doesn't happen. We obviously remember the not trading Rondo right?
Heck even this from trading Pierce and KG (I believe doc may have even said there was no truth to the rumors of an LAC trade at the same time)
"I wasn't really trying to trade Kevin and Paul," says Ainge when asked about the deal that currently makes Boston's future twice as bright. "I had sort of resigned myself to the fact that Kevin and Paul would remain Celtics and retire as Celtics. There really hadn't been much momentum, or even tempting opportunities to move them, until Brooklyn came along and made an offer. It sort of came up last minute, right before the draft."
