San Antonio Spurs trade rumors: 3 players the Spurs should avoid ahead of the deadline

#1 Blake Griffin

Blake Griffin of the Detroit Pistons

After being disrupted with a series of injuries over the last few seasons, Blake Griffin has finally returned to his All-Star self. Griffin has started nearly 50 games so far this season, and the Pistons man is averaging 26.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. The 29-year-old's form may yet result in a first All-Star appearance since 2015, and there is no doubt that Griffin is currently among the most dominant players in the NBA.

Nevertheless, Griffin will turn 30 in March, and the former Clippers man has signed one of the biggest contracts in NBA history. The power forward still has three seasons remaining on the five-year, $173-million contract that he signed with the Clippers back in 2017, and it is also difficult to see how Griffin and LaMarcus Aldridge would fit in the same team.
