    Eddie Griffin leave Nets

    The following statement has been issued by Nets CEO/President/General Manager, Rod Thorn regarding the status of Eddie Griffin:

    "Eddie has informed the team that he is not ready to resume his NBA career at this point in time," said Thorn. "He will return to Houston for further rehabilitation. There is no timetable for his return."

    I guess we'll have to wait a bit longer for him to "burn" the Rockets in a game. :rolleyes:

    What's wrong with Eddie? Does he have parents to teach him? and the 3 1st round picks.

    By the way, Kwame Brown is playing well.

    I know. The good thing for him is that he is still pretty young, so he still has a lot of playing years ahead of him. I guess NJ haven't released him, just letting him sort himself out.

    Didn't NJ hire like a full-time chaperone for EG? What a waste.

    I hope he gets his life straightened out, but at least he recognizes he has a problem and is only 21 years old...plenty of time for him to sort it out and to make a ton of jack in the NBA.

    It's hard to believe some people will just keep getting himself into trouble and more trouble.

    and it is not a difficult situation. You just play the basketball, be on time. It is like a regular job but with tons of money. How difficult can that be?
