Former NBA All-Star forward Blake Griffin agrees to deal with Brooklyn Nets
Six-time All-Star forward Blake Griffin has agreed to a deal to join the Bro
oklyn Nets for the rest of the season, his agent Sam Goldfeder of Excel Spor
ts told ESPN on Sunday night.
The Nets are using one of their veteran minimum contract slots to sign Griff
in, sources said.
Griffin informed Nets general manager Sean Marks of his decision to join Bro
oklyn's championship chase on Sunday evening, a reunion of sorts with his ol
d Los Angeles Clippers teammate DeAndre Jordan.
Griffin had interest from most of the NBA's top playoff contenders and clear
ed waivers on Sunday night after agreeing to a buyout on the remaining $56.5
million left on his contract with the Detroit Pistons on Friday.
The Nets imagine Griffin, 31, as a small-ball center alternative off its ben
ch.
Brooklyn has solidified itself as a championship contender with the addition
of James Harden to a roster that includes Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
Because Brooklyn will be in the luxury tax next season, the most they could
offer Griffin as a free agent is the $5.9 million taxpayer mid-level excepti
on, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks. However, Griffin will earn $29.8 millio
n from Detroit next year and has $255 million in career earnings.
Detroit's entered a full-fledged rebuild under the first-year general manage
r Troy Weaver and the opportunity to play the franchise's younger players ha
s taken precedent for the Pistons.
Griffin was traded less than a season into a five-year, $171 million max dea
l with the Los Angeles Clippers, arriving in Detroit in late January of 2018
.
Injuries have dramatically altered Griffin's game, eliminating the high-flyi
ng rim attacks that marked his All-Star career. He now leans heavily on the
3-point shot and his ability to make plays for others.
Griffin averaged 12.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 20 games for D
etroit this season.
六屆全明星前鋒布萊克· 格里芬（Blake Griffin）同意在本賽季餘下的時間裡加入布魯
克林籃網，他的經紀人Excel Sports的山姆· 戈德費德（Sam Goldfeder）在周日晚上告
訴ESPN。
消息人士稱，籃網隊正在使用他們的老將最低合同中的一個來簽下格里芬。
格里芬告訴籃網總經理肖恩· 馬克斯，他決定在周日晚上加入布魯克林的冠軍追逐賽，
這與他的老洛杉磯快船隊友德安德烈· 喬丹重逢。
格里芬對大多數NBA頂級季后賽競爭者都產生了興趣，並在同意以周五與底特律活塞隊的
合同剩餘的5650萬美元買斷後，在周日晚上取消了棄權。
籃網認為現年31歲的格里芬是替補席上的小球中鋒。
根據ESPN的Bobby Marks的說法，由於布魯克林下個賽季將被徵收奢侈稅，因此他們所能
提供的格里芬自由球員最多的就是590萬美元的納稅人中產階級例外。 然而，格里芬明
年將從底特律獲得2980萬美元的收入，職業收入為2.55億美元。
格里芬本賽季在底特律的20場比賽中平均得到12.3分，5.2個籃板和3.9次助攻。
