On March 12, Beijing time, the US media GAME7 revealed that Nets player Griffin is not happy in the team at present, and he is very frustrated about the current situation. Media speculation about griffin's situation is related to the team's head coach Nash's recent hiding of it.
Griffin's former teammate Javin Carter was previously cut by the Nets and then joined the Bucks. In seven games for the Bucks, Javin Carter was heavily used to enter the team's main rotation. Through his personal social media accounts, Jevon Carter says he feels very good and hopeful. When Griffin saw Javin Carter's situation, he might have had some thoughts in his mind. He left a message directly under The Content of Jevon Carter's message, asking what it was like, accompanied by a crying expression. Apparently, this was Griffin venting his dissatisfaction with not being able to play.
Although Griffin seemed to anticipate that his behavior was inappropriate and perhaps cause misunderstanding, he has deleted the comments. But careful netizens still succeeded in taking screenshots, retaining Griffin's previous statements.
In the past four games, Griffin has been included in the DNP (no playing) status by the team, and each game can only be a guest on the bench. In the previous nets trade with the 76ers, the Nets got his former teammate Zhuang Shen, which led to The Gap Griffin's position on the team being further compressed. Even as a big forward, he ranks behind Aldridge, Clarkston and James Johnson.
Although Aldridge is currently absent from the game due to a hip injury, the return date is undecided. But Griffin was never able to make it to the squad and get a chance to play. Slowly, Griffin has become a marginal man in the Nets.
Griffin hasn't been in good shape this season, averaging 17.8 minutes per game, just 6.6 points and 4.2 rebounds, shooting 42 percent from the field, shooting as little as 24.3 percent from three-point range and net efficiency as low as -4.9. His performance is far from last season's, he is extremely struggling on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the help he can give the team is extremely limited. This became Nash's biggest reason to hide him.
Griffin signed with the Nets after being cut by the Pistons last season, was once an important rotation player for the team and had a brilliant performance on the court. Finally, in last offseason, Griffin chose to stay with the Nets and continue to attack the championship at the end of his career. But Griffin's performance this season has clearly not reached the heights expected by the team.
Netizens do not buy griffin's current situation, everyone thinks that There is nothing wrong with Nash's approach, and Griffin's being hidden by the snow is purely his own strength. According to league rules, even if Griffin is cut now, he will not be able to play for other teams in the playoffs. If Griffin wants to leave the team to change the status quo, I am afraid it will need to wait until next season.
