Well Griffin and the Wolves had agreed to resign before the FA signing period and Griff has said even before the season was over that he wanted to play in Minny. But here we are and still no deal. They said weeks ago that he was going to sign a contract days from that date. And now we have started it up again. The Wolves have sadi in days that Eddie G is resigning for a 2 year, $3.8 mill deal.

Are they serious this time?
What is backing it up?

Thoughts?

It's been agreed upon for a long time now. It'll probably be finalized once we decide what else we're going to do with the MLE. I wouldn't be worried at all.

2 years and 3.8 million is a good deal for Griffin. There's really not that much risk involved in that, so that deal is infinitely better than the rumored full MLE deal he was supposed to get earlier.

Yeah I remember a couple of weeks ago the deal was supposed to be for 5 million a year, which is way too much.. but 3.8 for 2 years is a really, really good deal.

You guys are gonna have to do somethin with your MLE. After not makin the playoffs last year, Garnett is not gonna be to happy if something doesnt happen. And if hes not happy, no one will be happy.

We're signing Griffin and Damien Wilkins with our MLE.

**sheefo13** · 08-18-2005, 02:20 PM

Does Griffin even account against our MLE? Probably though.

If it isn't announced by Sunday, something is wrong....

They were probably holding off the Griffin signing, waiting for the Sonics to use part of their MLE. That way they could structure a deal that would be impossible for the Sonics to match.

But, it looks like McHale blinked first and signed Wilkins to an offer sheet. Now the Wolves money is tied up for 7 days, while the Sonics decide whether to match or not. I wouldn't be surprised if it's matched, $2.5 mill isn't too bad.

Yeah he does. And they'll announce it once they sign another guy. If Seattle doesn't match, we'll hear shortly after that Griffin is signed. People from the Wolves have already said they've agreed on a deal, it's just not official yet, that's all.

It's actually a steal for the Wolves.

I thought we were going to over pay him and give him a long term contract like we have done to everyone as of late.

**sheefo13** · 08-19-2005, 09:09 AM

Apparantly the contract has been sent into NBA officials and the signing should be announced soon. With the Finley deal and Wilkens now, I am sure that 1 one these 3 players will not be able to play here.

2 years 3.8 mill? Great deal for the Wolves.
