Blake Griffin, the most exciting young player to enter the NBA since … well, maybe ever tells Yahoo! Sports writer, and former Nuggets beat writer, Marc Spears that he grew up a fan of Martin’s back when Kenyon was playing at the University of Cincinnati.

Griffin’s highlight act draws retaliation – Marc J. Spears, Yahoo! Sports
Kenyon Martin never put up 47 points in an NBA game, let alone as a rookie like Blake Griffin did last night against the Indiana Pacers (on the second of a back-to-back no less).

No wonder the Clippers wanted no part of a Carmelo Anthony for Griffin swap … the Clippers would have been shortchanged!

Coaches are not always involved with the day-to-day activities of the front office. And frankly, would you let Johnson, aka The Little General, know that you're planning on trying to talk the defensively challenged Melo into accepting a trade to your team? You wouldn't want Johnson bringing up over lunch that he expects Melo to play defense or else … Melo would choke on his steak and probably walk out of the restaurant chuckling to himself.
