Friday Afternoon Headlines

Blake Griffin #1 to the Clippers?  Not so fast.  Los Angeles is said to be very open to trade talk regarding the #1 pick in the draft and could be willing to move guard Baron Davis to make a deal happen.  If the Clippers keep the pick, Griffin will be selected (Editor's Note: If that's the case -- Blake, withdraw from the draft and hope the Clippers don't end up with the first pick next year too).  However, if they decide to keep it, look for Spain PG Ricky Rubio to be the Clippers' selection.

According to a handful of sources, Rubio has no interest in playing for either Memphis (#2) or Oklahoma City (#3).  His agent wants him to go West Coast to play for either L.A. (#1) or Sacramento (#4).

The Bulls are "heavily" shopping forward Tyrus Thomas.

Guard Jamal Crawford will not return to the Warriors next season.
