Blake Griffin plans to re-sign with the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2017 offseason when he becomes a free agent.

The Clippers can offer Griffin more guaranteed money than any rival team and they've remained on the fringes of title contention for several seasons.

Griffin reportedly doesn't have interest in considering other teams, at least at this point.

Doc Rivers is confident the Clippers will be able to re-sign both Griffin and Chris Paul.

Chris Paul has listed his Bel-Air mansion for sale at $11.495 million.

Paul bought the 11-bedroom mansion from Avril Lavigne for $8.495 million. Paul has since bought another home in Calabasas for $8.995 million.

Paul will be a free agent in 2017 after joining the Los Angeles Clippers in 2011.

Paul Pierce is planning on returning to the Los Angeles Clippers for the 16-17 NBA season.

Pierce has wavered with his decision for most of the summer and could again change his mind.

“I just don’t want to make an emotional decision right now,” Pierce said after the Clippers were eliminated in the playoffs last spring. “I’ll just take some time off, sit down with my family and think long and hard.”

The Clippers signed Pierce to a three-year deal worth approximately $10 million before the 15-16 season.

Pierce would be competing for minutes as a small-ball power forward with Marreese Speights, Brandon Bass and Brice Johnson.

Kevin Durant and DeAndre Jordan have continued to forge a meaningful friendship this summer as members of Team USA.

Durant considers Jordan one of his best friends in the NBA.

“If I were to get married today, he’d be in my wedding,” Durant told The Vertical about Jordan. “That’s how it is. That’s my brother.”

When relayed Durant’s comments about being in his whenever wedding, Jordan nodded and told The Vertical, “For sure, he’s going to be in mine.”

Durant first met Jordan shortly after he committed to Texas and tried to convince Jordan, who was a year younger, to join the program. Since Durant has begun making his offseason home in Los Angeles, the two have grown closer.

Jordan tried to help convince Durant to sign with the Clippers.

“I tried every day,” Jordan told The Vertical. “We had a shot. And if you ask him, he’d say we had a shot. People can be happy for him, mad at him, but at the end of the day, he did what was best for Kevin, and he can live with that.”

After the Olympics are over, Durant and Jordan will return to being rivals.

“We’ve always been cool,” Jordan told The Vertical. “We compete against each other four times a year. We hang out in the summertime, go on trips together, so it’s great to be on the same team together now.”

The Oklahoma City Thunder are expected to pursue Blake Griffin in free agency in 2017.

Griffin is originally from Oklahoma but has played his entire NBA career for the Los Angeles Clippers.

With Russell Westbrook forgoing free agency in 2017, the Thunder could tempt Griffin with the opportunity to join him. Griffin has had some level of tension playing with Chris Paul, who also will be a free agent in 2017.

Alan Anderson has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers worth $1.5 million over one season.

Anderson gives the Clippers additional depth on the wing.

Anderson was limited to 13 games last season after undergoing multiple surgeries on his ankles.
