The Suns can offer Griffin a four-year, $130 million deal, as noted by Turner. They are viewed by some as a team on the rise thanks to their recent selection and development of Devin Booker, and the promise of No. 4 overall pick Josh Jackson. They also have Eric Bledsoe in their backcourt, though he has been a part of trade rumors.
Griffin was drafted by the Clippers No. 1 overall in 2009 and has been with the organization ever since, but he may be considering a new team especially with the team dissolving now that Chris Paul has been traded.
