I saw we might have to give a 1st round pick to get rid of him.

I have no idea how they can pull it off. I don't think I'd go that far. I'd rather just sit him and pay him for the rest of the year than send a first round pick.

Sit him and pay him this year, then buy him out next year.

Maybe they can restructure the deal enough so we don't have to give someone more than a 2nd.

If we have to give a first rounder Stan Van Gundy can pay for his salary lol .. man I hope we don’t have to give a first.

Unless its severely protected.

Apparently there's a sweepstake on Griffin. I assume that means lots of teams want to throw a bunch of trash off their own team.

I think the teams that are interested only if he is bought out by the Pistons. I find it hard to believe that any team would be willing to trade for him unless the Pistons throw in draft picks.

Or an equally bad contract.

I certainly hope the Pistons don't do that...it would defeat the purpose of getting rid of him.

Maybe an equally bad contract with only one year left on his deal rather than two. Better than giving up a 1st round draft pick.

True, but I haven't heard any rumors like that.

 

[tomdalton22]

looks like they bought his contract out today. No details yet.

Griffin expected to sign with Nets
