In re-signing Blake Griffin, the Clippers took the worst type of NBA risk

Less than 24 hours before the commencement of NBA free agency, Blake Griffin, it appeared, was seriously considering a future outside of Los Angeles. Only several hours before the opening bell, however, Griffin "walked into a Blake Griffin museum," and came out of it with an agreement to stay in LA with the Clippers. Risk has been one of many byproducts of the Golden State Warriors' dominance, a necessary response that the Warriors' near-invincibility has elicited from other NBA front offices.
