Blake Griffin revived his career with the Brooklyn Nets last season following his buyout with the Detroit Pistons.

As a free agent, Griffin thought his decision to remain with the Nets was an easy one.

“Yeah, I think so. I think so. Obviously there’s a lot of work to do, a lot of work to be done. Can’t take anything for granted. But I like our team. I like the guys we have, I like our coaching staff, I like everything we’ve put together. So, yeah, I believe in us,” said Griffin, that belief driving him to sign a one-year veteran minimum deal to return to the Nets and get that title won.

“It was a no-brainer for me … that was a conversation we as a team felt like we obviously didn’t accomplish what we wanted. You can say injuries, but every team had injuries. So we feel like there’s definitely unfinished business. There’s something bigger that we want to achieve, and I still want to be a part of that.”

Griffin had interest from other teams.

“Yeah, there were [other suitors],” Griffin said. “But especially talking to guys … I had a conversation with Jeff [Green] and I talked to other guys who’ve been in different situations and not being in the same spot multiple years. It’s always — I don’t want to say a ‘guessing game,’ because you can get a pretty good feel for how teams are going to work — but you never know.

“This is a situation I was comfortable in, so a lot of those other offers didn’t necessarily [appeal], just going to make more money or going to a new spot for maybe a bigger role wasn’t really a thing. It’s a thing where I know this situation, I know what I can do with this team, I know my role with this team and we still left the season with sort of a bad taste in our mouths.”
