The former No. 1 overall pick, not fit for the Pistons from Feb. 12, as both parties have agreed that he will be out of the lineup unless the team facilitates a trade for them or they agree to buy. The Pistons are in the middle of a rebuild, while Griffin is looking for a chance to compete for the championship at this stage of his career. “I’m grateful to the Pistons for understanding what I have to do in my career and working together on the best way forward,” Griffin said in a statement last month.
