The Vertical’s Chris Mannix said tonight on CSNNE that the Celtics are nowhere close to a deal for Blake Griffin or Russell Westbrook. It sounded like talks for Griffin had taken place at some point in the past but there’s nothing going now. Clippers reporter Dan Woike also squashed the Griffin talk on Twitter.

Mannix went on to say that Jimmy Butler, Jahlil Okafor and even Kevin Love are still options for Boston and it’s possible those deals transpire over the coming weeks.

Jimmy Butler?

I considered those rumors DEAD.

This just goes to show – yet again – you can’t put much stock in any of these reports.
