He was untradeable
May have not been a good presence in the locker room, and playing him over the kids wasn't going to help their development

They didn't have to play him...
He may look less cooked , more dynamic/athletic playing 10-12 min off then bench in a good team instead of 30+ as the number one option..
Nets medicos pretty top notch what what I hear too

I mean if you look at % of the cap they are pretty similar
Shawn Kemp signed a 7/102 million deal in 1997, salary cap at the start of that deal was 42M - 38% or so
Vin Baker 7/86 in a 46M cap
Grant Hill took 25% of the cap in 2004
Ben Wallace was around 25% of the cap for 3 years
Marbury 18M in a time the cap was 65M or so

Letourneau] according to a team source, the Warriors “almost definitely” wouldn’t surrender that Timberwolves selection or Wiseman unless they got back someone generational such as Joel Embiid or Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Sounds like the dubs might be cooked then...
Curry.
Klay. (injury?).
Wiggins.
Green.
Wiseman.
+ Wolves pick
Looks good but don't know if the timelines will match up?
They wouldn't get Giannis for curry and probably not embiid.
Best Wiseman / wolves pick would be Vuc imho.
Minni wouldn't do kat even it's a pretty good trade - to get their own draft pick back...

They tried to get him into shape and give him a chance at establishing some kind of minimal trade value. It didn't work.
Remember he barely played last season either.
Why in the world would the Cavs trade Nance?
And why would they do anything for Drummond, other than buy out his contract?

There are rumours nance is up for trade and drummond may get bought out.

Oh I see, you didn't word your original post very well at all.
Drummond getting bought out is a likelihood rather than a mere rumour. They may trade Nance, but I'm not sure any contending team would pay the price required to land him.

That's my point. This deal means he essentially gets to opt out and still get 25 million next year. It just highlights how ridiculous the NBA can be.

30 million next year.
32 million this season.
And 1.2m, this season from the nets.
Maybe some rings too?

Can see the Warriors flipping Oubre for Oladipo if the latter agrees. He has been obviously heavily linked with Miami.
No chance Warriors give up Wiseman for Vuc.
Wiggins has done enough to stay put with Oubre the likely to be dealt before trade deadline.

They can trade him, and they probably will.
Someone will cough up at least a 2nd round pick.
It's not an ordinary profession though.
You or I can get a job offer with a different company for more money and take it without recrimination. An NBA contract is much more ironclad, with all the positives and negatives that entails. NBA contracts cannot be broken without the express concession of both sides, which means that in a situation where both team and player want to move on, and a trade is impossible, they'll inevitably haggle on a buyout price.
Griffin gave up roughly 20% of what he was owed. In the real world that doesn't seem that much, but in the NBA that's about the market rate, especially for a contract that large. Some Pistons fans were worried that he'd demand much closer to the full amount. Most now seem more relieved that the Pistons didn't stretch the money out over the next five years rather than angry about paying so much dead money for next season.
The essential point is that Griffin didn't opt out, he opted in - as he was always going to. What happened thereafter was a mutual decision.

I get time value of money and inflation mate, Ive got a finance degree.
Just saying the pure dollar value. Considering the Max has gone from like 20m to 50m in about 10 years, the figures are mindblowing.
Also considering regular persons wages have gone up around 2% per year in that same 10 years (or 20% before compounding), whereas NBA salaries at the top level have gone up around 250%
