Parent Herald previously reported that San Antonio Spurs is planning to pursue Blake Griffin to complete their power three should they fail to acquire GSW superstar Stephen Curry. Meanwhile, in a separate report from Parent Herald, Orlando Magic is also eyeing Griffin as a potential addition to their roster.
Clippers know Blake Griffin's worth and potential so they are not letting him go. Doc Rivers told ESPN earlier that Clippers has no plans on trading Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin.
