Kevin Durant is gone. Russell Westbrook has extended his contract.
With one guy gone, Russ and the Oklahoma City Thunder need some more help to get back into championship contention. Could their next superstar come in the form of Blake Griffin? Griffin played for the Oklahoma Sooners in college, and fans love him. He is a free agent next summer, and the Thunder will definitely go after him to try and overtake the Warriors in the west. It will be challenging to convince Blake to leave DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul and the L.A. lifestyle, but Westbrook and his alma mater may be the perfect two pitches to make.
