The Celtics have signed Blake Griffin to a one year guaranteed contract.
I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank. I know that the Celtics (Jaylen in particular) targeted him in the playoffs last year against the Nets and got by him most of the time so he's not the best defender but he is a willing passer and is another big body. I can think of a couple other bigs I'd rather have than him, but in Brad we trust.

They released Denzel Valentine to make room for Griffin on the roster.

To me a major function of Blake is keeping Al and Rob healthy and rested for the playoffs.

one thing about BG is that even at an advanced age he should still be able to switch defensively on the perimeter. That's huge for the Celtics' style of defense.

I think it is a solid move. Remember, the ask is not have him start or play major minutes. note - I think this type of move is where Brad differs from Danny (vets over rookies).
