The Los Angeles Clippers no longer consider Blake Griffin untouchable and are listening to trade offers.

The Clippers, however, are still likely to wait until the offseason to deal away Griffin if they do so at all. If Kevin Durant decides he'd like to play for the Clippers, they would need Griffin as part of a sign-and-trade.

But if the Clippers receive word before the deadline that they're out of contention for Durant, they could accelerate their trade timetable.

Griffin remains out with a broken hand and Doc Rivers would like to give his core one more postseason chance.
