San Antonio Spurs: Should Spurs be interested in adding Blake Griffin?

Should the San Antonio Spurs ask about the Detroit Pistons big man?

For many San Antonio Spurs fans, the most painful memory in franchise history came in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals. Ray Allen’s dagger from the corner is a shot that will live in the minds of Spurs fans forever, but it’s got serious competition for the title of “Most Painful Memory” in my mind.

San Antonio was able to find redemption for their loss in 2013 with a sweeping win over the Heat in 2014. That title was never in doubt. And they came into the 2015 playoffs with a full head of steam, ready to defend their title. Then they ran into the LA Clippers.

After seven highly contested games, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin eventually knocked the Spurs out of the playoffs thanks to a last-second shot by Paul. It was a gut punch made even more painful by how annoying the Clippers were that year.

Now, years after the Lob City Clippers have been disbanded, the Spurs have an opportunity to acquire the player who once helped break their playoff hopes. No, not Chris Paul, Blake Griffin.

Earlier this week on The Lowe Post, Zach Lowe discussed the market for Blake Griffin and seemed optimistic that there will be a solid amount of teams looking to acquire the six-time All-Star. Should the San Antonio Spurs be among them?

Let’s look at what Griffin would bring on the offensive and defensive ends of the floor and what it would likely cost the Spurs to bring him to the Alamo City.
