New York could be going 'Old School'

The Knicks have shown interest in bringing aboard Adrian Griffin. The ex-Celtic, who earned the moniker ''Old School" when making his NBA debut in Boston, is a man without a team.

His former agent, Frank Catapano, said the Bulls, for whom Griffin played last season, had told him there would be an offer, but one never arrived.

''I must have talked to every team in the league and I thought three or four were close," said Catapano, who stopped representing Griffin two weeks ago. ''It's hard to figure out. I think he could help any team in the league."

Griffin appeared in 69 games for Chicago last season. It was his fourth NBA stop, the others being Boston, Dallas, and Houston.

Adrian Griffin played well as a Celtic. When he got to the Bulls I thought he would contribute....but he didn't. He's a good player but I can't call it. Couldn't hurt to give him a shot.

Well maybe he doesn't need anymore shots of anything......what's up with his eyes, lol.

ugh. this guy was awful for the Bulls last season, he played heavy minutes for their first nine games, then Skiles said, "we found someone on our team who wasn't following defensive assignments," benched Griffin and the team went 47-26 the rest of the way. true story.

It's Adrian Griffin vs. Matt Barnes for the final roster spot. I don't remember enough of Griffin to have a preference.

Just more newspaper to clean the car windows with, besides Dallas is more infatuated with him that any other team. He was a good defender at one time but not worth the time of day!.

The writer probably owed his agent a favor.

when he was with the celts, if you listened to Tommy the "idiot" Heinson, you would think that Griffin was Dennis Johnson or something.. Griffin is a clown..

he just resigned an unguaranteed contract with Dallas, to spell Howard who will be out for 3-4 weeks. They seem to love him in Dallas!.

He's got a reputation of being pretty good defender. Guess he's gone now. Whatever.
