Report: Thunder interested in Blake Griffin

The Oklahoma City Thunder are a one-man show featuring Russell Westbrook - but that's only for the time being.

The Thunder are reportedly eyeing Los Angeles Clippers power forward Blake Griffin, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Griffin has spent the entirety of his six-year career with the Clippers, but he's slated to become a free agent in 2017. That's when the Thunder plan to pounce on the OKC native who once starred for the Sooners.

Luring the 26-year-old away from the spotlight of Hollywood and back to his hometown could be difficult - especially since the Clippers can offer him more money than any other team.

But Griffin is coming off a rocky campaign with the Clippers where he played in just 35 games after suffering a torn quad - and later a broken hand on account of punching a team staffer.

There's also tension between Griffin and Clippers point guard Chris Paul, Wojnarowski adds.

The Clippers have been saying all the right things recently. Head coach Doc Rivers squashed trade rumors naming the big man at the end of July, and lauded Griffin for his efforts in pitching Kevin Durant in free-agency meetings.

But this isn't the first report of OKC's interest in Griffin, and with Westbrook locked in for the near future, the Thunder have a superstar in place to chase the hometown kid.
