Dallas ? By the start of the 2013 season Blake Griffin needs to be in a Dallas Mavericks uniform.

Mavs Prime Minister Mark Cuban needs to take this from the sports-bar hypothetical to “The Decision” reality. That means clear out all necessary salary cap space and go LeBron on BGriff in the summer of ’13. Jim Gray will be available to make the announcement.

This can happen. If the Mavericks are going to go into the post-Dirk era without falling off the NBA universe, this must happen.

Watching The Blake Show make its first appearance at the AAC on Tuesday night is a glimpse of the NBA’s next Superman. Griffin’s presence is the only reason two-thirds of the less-than-sellout crowd at the AAC showed up on a Tuesday night in January.

“I know we’re an exciting team and how we’ve started to play is exciting to watch. I’m glad people are coming to watch us play,” Griffin said after he scored 22 points with 11 rebounds in the Mavs’ 112-105 win. “But at no point will I think this is just me. It’s just something that I’m doing and we’re all doing.”

Blake Griffin has done the impossible — he has created a buzz about the worst franchise in professional sports. There were people in the stands Tuesday night wearing Clippers jerseys. Who knew the NBA sold Clippers gear?

He doesn’t need to waste another day in a Clippers uniform, so by the time he can be a free agent he will be 24, and entering the prime of his career. At that point Dirk will either be traded, or about done.

If waiting for BGriff means losing a whole year, do it. The Heat flushed an entire season waiting for LeBron and it looks like a good deal. When franchise players become available, you sell out and get them.

“People are talking MVP candidate. That speaks to what he’s meant to the franchise in terms of the kind of attention they’re getting because of his play,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said before the game. “One of the reasons is they have a Superman type of guy that is going make breathtaking plays and energize them.”

I came to the AAC in hopes of watching Griffin throw down a YouTube dunk on Brendan Haywood or some other Mav. He nearly was going to do just that late in the third quarter when he went baseline on Haywood, who had to take Griffin down by his forearm to avoid embarrassment. Griffin had his arm heavily wrapped after the game but downplayed the severity.

“It’s always been like that,” Griffin said of being beat up. “I’m used to it.”

You can’t blame Haywood for wanting to avoid becoming another player posterized by Griffin.

“I’ve seen them all so I don’t get too hyped off his dunks unless he’s jumping over dudes,” said former North Crowley star and Clippers rookie guard Willie Warren; he played with Griffin at Oklahoma. “That was the one where he was stopped, but he kept going and going and just threw it in. I was like, ‘Oh (shoot)!”

Griffin did come through with one nice alley-oop jam in the first quarter. But this guy is so much more than an in-game dunk contest.

This is not talking about a refined product yet. He’s not a great foul shooter, and defensively he has issues.

At 21, BGriff doesn’t even know what he’s doing yet, but he can still get a double-double on days the Clippers don’t play. Imagine what happens when he figures it out, and receives the “Do Not Touch” treatment from officials.

The Clippers are sitting on the NBA’s next hot item.

If it were any other franchise, it would be implausible that the Mavs, or any other team, would be able to sign this type of talent as a free agent. But this is the Clippers, an organization with a history so unbelievable it would be rejected by science fiction.

Griffin will want out by the time he’s a free agent. The Mavs need to have the cap space to sign him.
