"The Rockets will release third-year forward Eddie Griffin as soon as today, severing ties with the 2001 first-round draft pick, several sources familiar with the situation said Thursday. The move will complete Griffin's fall from one of the coveted keys to the Rockets' rebuilding plans to a player they could not trade and would not keep. Unable to find an acceptable trade for Griffin, the Rockets likely have or will have to reach a settlement on the remainder of his contract. Griffin's contract was worth $2.3 million this season before the salary lost during his suspension." Houston Chronicle
I think he would be nice to have.
A backup power forward, hm....
And besides: Bring DerMarr Johnson back
