Throughout this offseason, we will do our best to keep up with trades and free-agent signings that could have a potential effect on the Thunder. Today, it’s former Oklahoma standout Blake Griffin, who has agreed to a maximum five-year extension that likely will reach $95 million with the Los Angeles Clippers: What it means to the Clippers: The long-term potential of the franchise remains intact and the next quest now is to sign point guard teammate Chris Paul to a five-year deal that will be worth roughly $108 million (he's been in the league four more years). Griffin's extension begins in 2013-14 and will qualify for the maximum (30 percent of the team salary cap) if next season Griffin is voted as an All-Star Game starter for a second time, is voted All-NBA for a second time, or he is voted league MVP.
