Eddie Griffin to Minnesota?
Wow....

Former Houston Rockets and New Jersey Nets forward Eddie Griffin says his next team will be the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The guy has talent, so if he get himself together mentally, he can still be a pretty darn good player. However, it say that McHale has expressed interest, and it didn't specifically say that he will be signed. We'll have to wait and see.

Great pickup...
A lotto pick for probably a minimum contract...
He won't mess up in Minnesota, better place for him, more low profile than the glitz and glamour of L.A.

If KG and Co. can keep Griffin in line, this may turn out to be an excellent pickup.

Why don't we give Lenny Cooke and Isiah Rider a call?
I'm wary. But we tried Hoiberg and Madsen at the vet. min and got great results. OTOH, they're basically Andy Griffith Show characters...

If, and a very very big "if", Griffin stays away from insanity, he'll stay on the roster. Griffin has talent, and even if he can't shoot as well, dribble as well, etc, he's still got long arms and he can block some shots. Playing behind KG though, there's not many minutes to be had.

I agree with that, but he will get some clock as a backup PF should he make the squad. the wolves tend to play some small ball too. but i'd rather have a guy like griffin who has the potential to be good, then another year of gary trent. i loved gary trent, but it was time for him to move on.

well if he can play as 3/4 of wat he used to be i think it is a win. He can score and block shots. He has quite a bit of potential.

He is basically a 4 with good defensive abilities. He is no 3 by any means, but I like this signing a lot. Because apparently there is a good samaritan clause in his contract that if he has any legal problems, his contract immediately becomes void. So basically this a no risk situation.

Eddie Griffin to Minnesota?
