Blake Griffin contract details

Blake Griffin joined the Detroit Pistons late in January 2018. But soon after, he joined the Nets this season by agreeing on a buyout with the Pistons which was around 13.3 million dollars. While he was set to earn 75 million dollars in the 2021-22 season, Griffin opted to sign for the Nets, who pay him 1.2 million dollars. They use him as a small-ball center from the bench.

While he has signed on a veteran-minimum contract, Griffin enters the free agency next season. Joining Brooklyn again is something he would look forward to, but he would have to take a pay cut. However, Blake has been vital for the team showing the promise that he had with the Clippers.
