The Thunder can want Griffin, but Griffin needs to want the Thunder

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul is off to the Houston Rockets in a move that sent shockwaves through the NBA on Wednesday, Oklahoma City included.

It's uncertain what the move means for the Thunder, but it's another power play for a Western Conference team in a relatively quiet summer (so far) for OKC.

What could be revealed soon, however, is the fate of Blake Griffin – the Oklahoma City native and former University of Oklahoma All-American who the Thunder has reportedly had interest in for more than a year.

California dreaming? The Thunder front office and Oklahoma City fans may have their thoughts on Griffin as a star to pair with Russell Westbrook.
