    Good move by Paxson he knows we are pre-season favorites for the championship this season, and he is loading the team up with veteran leadership so we don’t stumble come playoff time. I have heard rumors we are talking about bringing back Toni Kukoc.

    Damn our defence is going off the charts. And griffins has improved since we last had him. Great move Pax.

    Go Bulls!!!

    P.S. Toni has said that he wants to retire with the bucks. But wisconsin is just a short drive from illinois and he may be cool being a Bull.

    i can't believe he left Dallas who gave him the shot to shine, to a team that deserted him. good pick up for Bulls though, very good role player with defense, who could be a serious threat if he could hit midrange jumpers more often.

    I don’t know how much consistent playing time he will get, but with Skiles style of coaching every player gets an opportunity some time. Last time he was here, he was one of the teams tri captains I think we are bringing him in more for his leadership than anything he also gives us even more depth.

    Did they offer him anything? (Not being sarcatic or anything lol)


    Anyways, I always liked Griffin nice signing. I guess he might take Othella Harrington's role? Always nice to add more defense and veteran leadership. He has shown he could do well of both ends with the Mavs.

    16th July, 2006 - 9:06 pm
    Dallas Morning News - Adrian Griffin has agreed to a three-year contract with the Chicago Bulls , his agent said Sunday. Griffin played in Chicago in the 2005/06 season before re-joining the Mavericks, where he previously played from 2001-03.

    Agent Tony Dutt said the Mavericks offered a two-year deal at a competitive salary. Dutt declined to reveal financial terms of the Bulls' contract or Mavericks' offer.

    "He had such a respect for Avery [Johnson] and the Mavericks organization," said Dutt, who represented Johnson during the Mavericks coach's playing career. "With that being said, players at the end of the day have to go with their gut. [READ]</div>

    I like this signing for us. I liked Griffin when he was here before. This just adds to that deep bench we have. It's good to add another veteran, especially one who just came off a Finals season where he played a lot. Good to have somebody on the team with Finals experience.

    great signing can give you defense and rebounding can play 2 and 3 (even though ur stacked with gordon/jr/deng/andres lol) and can give you time and the 4 if needed
