Griffin as a FA reminds me of Amare Stoudamire back when he signed with Dallas mid-season. You're not going to get anything close to the guy he used to be before injuries stole his athleticism, but he can still play a productive role and be fun to watch when you're not the one stuck with the long-term dead money.
3 years left on his deal at 56.5. Detroit will have a substantial cap hit for 2021/22. They have to decide to take the hit all at once, or stretch waive him for 3 seasons. They are familiar with the stretch waive provision, as Josh Smith's ridiculous deal, just came off the books last year.
