How can Griffin agree to a deal already with the Clipps?

[capstone21]

It's three hours until free agent time ... how can they already be negotiating and agreeing????

[Lurker]

The same way that Jeff Teague already has a handshake deal with the Wolves.

They can talk to the players agents, but not the players (it's complete BS).

Just read 3 years for 55 ... bad deal ...huge overpay ... they should have kept Rubio who can defend and is a better playmaker for 8 million per year

3 years $57mill. And Rubio makes about $12mill/yr I believe...

Rubio can't shoot. Teague can. They need a PG who can be somewhat of a threat from outside to free up their slash/post game.
