※ 引述《jerod (KG4MVP)》之銘言：
: Wolves should dump Griffin and his baggage
: http://www.startribune.com/508/story/527625.html
或許灰狼應該把"愛迪雞"和"他的一堆麻煩"丟了
: We heard of Eddie Griffin's vision problems during his flop of a 2005-06
: season. Now, we have heard the complete allegations of what might have
: led to his car accident on March 30.
我們聽愛迪雞說他因為近視的原因,搞爛了2005-2006球季;現在我們又要聽他對他的
車禍事件有什麼好理由!!
: All a fellow can say is maybe the nuns at St. Gabriel's Grade School
: in Fulda, Minn., had a case back in the 1950s when they warned us of
: the potential side effects of sinful behavior.
(上面在說什麼啊?哪個高人可以指點一下,完全看無)
: There was no disputing the risk to the Timberwolves before the 2004-05
: season, when they signed Griffin, only 22 and already a legend for his
: reckless ways.
無疑的灰狼在2004 2005簽下才二十二歲而且有一堆魯莽行為的Griffin是個危險
: The 6-10 Griffin played only one year at Seton Hall, where his self-centered
: approach managed to tear apart a team with great potential. He entered the
: 2001 NBA draft and wound up with Houston in a draft-night trade.
: He failed to show up for several practices in 2003 training camp and was
: suspended. During the suspension, there was gunfire at his home on Oct. 25.
: He was charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Later, he was ordered to
: stand trial on a misdemeanor for drug possession.
6-10的Griffin才在Seton Hall打一年,就因為他自我的球風搞砸了這支有潛力的球隊
2001才剛跟火箭簽約,他就在練習營缺席.在缺席的那幾天,就有人在他家火拼
他被告說有槍,晚一點,他又被告擁有毒品
: By mid-December, the Rockets had their fill and Griffin was released.
: He signed with New Jersey Nets on Jan. 8, 2004. He never played for them.
: He wound up in jail in Texas for breaking his probation on the assault
: charge. He was released after three weeks to the custody of John Lucas,
: former NBA player and coach, and a drug-counseling activist.
: The Wolves decided Griffin was their kind of guy and signed him in October
: 2004. He played the 2004-05 season without a public incident, and with
: marginal impact. The Wolves decided to bring him back on a three-year deal
: totaling $8.1 million.
11月,火箭就受夠了,釋出Griffin,他一月跟籃網簽約,但他根本還沒打球,就因違反
緩刑規則而入獄,三週後 John Lucas保他,又出來了.
2004/10灰狼覺得他就是他們須要的人簽他
2004-2005沒出什麼亂子,灰狼給他一個三年810萬的約
: By this midseason, his minutes were being chopped and rumors were flying
: around Target Center that he was having chemical problems again. The Wolves
: equivocated when those questions were asked, suggesting only that his
: minimal playing time was traced to vision problems.
: No matter what they might say publicly, the Wolves knew that Griffin was
: headed for trouble again. They should have turned him in to the NBA.
: Instead, they shrugged, and now the franchise has gotten what it deserves:
: full-frontal embarrassment.
季中,.他又因為有毒品問題弄得交易傳言滿天飛,,不過灰狼官方替他講點好話,說
他只是近近視問題所以上場少一點
灰狼該老實說的,反正他又搞出一堆問題
: The latest revelations forced Griffin to release a statement Friday through
: an L.A. public relations firm. He apologized to his family, teammates and
: the community for "any embarrassment his actions" may have caused.
: Griffin's contention in the statement was the car owner filed his lawsuit
: after demanding an "outrageous sum of money" from the NBA player. "Just
: because these allegations have been made does not make them truthful, and
: one should question his motivation," the statement concluded.
: Whatever exaggerations in the lawsuit, the Wolves' mistake was bringing
: in Griffin in the first place.
最近的問題使他不得不透過LA一家公司發出一分聲明,向他的家人球隊道歉
: Take a troublemaker out of the big-league life for a while and he can act
: contrite. Put him back in the big leagues and the odds of staying straight
: are almost nil.
: Eddie Griffin, meet Steve Howe. You're similar guys, except for this: Howe
: is dead, after filling himself with meth and crashing his truck early on
: the morning of April 28.
: The Twins tried Howe in 1985. He was out of rehab again for his never-ending
: cocaine addiction. Howard Fox was the general manager and Ray (Rabbit) Miller
: was the new manager. They assured the local media after interviewing Howe
: that the pitcher was ready to put his drug problems behind him.
: The reporters then interviewed Howe. It took five minutes to figure out
: this guy was borderline nuts.
: The Twins let him stay in Chicago on an off day to appear on "Nightline"
: and talk about his recovery. He left the show and disappeared on a cocaine
: binge.
: Howe lasted with the Twins for 13 appearances -- obviously, much more trouble
: than he ever was worth.
: Two decades later, the Wolves are in that situation with Griffin. He's
: mediocre at his best, and a potential embarrassment to his employers the
: rest of the time.
: The Wolves owe him $5.6 million for this season. Glen Taylor should offer
: to buy it out at a discount today. Griffin could use the check to go into
: business with Onterrio Smith -- maybe as co-owners of a Whizzinator store.
下面的改天再翻,,快睡著了
