NEW YORK (AP) -- New Jersey Nets forward Eddie Griffin plans to enter the Betty Ford Center next week for six weeks of alcohol abuse treatment, his lawyer told The New York Times.

``Eddie feels he needs further help with his drinking problem,'' Rusty Hardin said Friday. ``He's very disappointed. But he's thankful for the way the Nets have reacted to his request for further treatment. He realizes these are problems he's created.''

Hardin said Griffin's agent, Arn Tellem, has arranged for the player to fly to Southern California to enter the center Wednesday.

I wonder if Rick Bucher still would rather be him then Rasheed. That seems to be a dumberer position by the day...

I wish Eddie all the luck and strength in the world to overcome his addiction.

I work with addicts at a hospital and I know what he's getting ready to go through.
