Griffin stays with Clippers

LOS ANGELES - Blake Griffin was back in his usual place on Wednesday, front and center with the Clippers.

After opting out of his contract, Griffin didn't spend the offseason toiling over whether to sign with another team - like his teammate DeAndre Jordan famously did.

For Griffin, it was an easy decision to sign a max five-year deal to stay with the only NBA team he's played for in his seven-year career.
