Man his numbers the last two years are rough. I think its a combo of being washed and not trying all that hard. I'd probably talk myself into it but it isn't a home run for whoever brings him in.
I mean, if he wants to come sign for the minimum you have to do it. The upside is huge compared to little downside.
Agree mostly with both of these, even if they're slightly opposed.
I don't get super excited when I look at him. But if you're bringing in a guy on a minimum deal who two years ago was averaging 25 ppg to take some of Niang's minutes, it's worth it to see if you can discover at least a sliver of that. If it's a motivation issue and you can get him up, then that's pretty valuable. But the biggest loss is possible opportunity cost, like if a better guy got waived that would provide more value, I don't think we'd be the type of team to waive a big name like Griffin who willingly signed with us. But if we're willing to do that, then yes.
A few years ago there had supposedly been talk of him getting moved to our team (summer of Hayward decision or the year before) and he was expecting it and apparently on board. I forget where that came from, but it had come from a legitimate source, but there was never any other details on it.
