ANALYSIS: The Pistons have been sitting out Griffin as they pursue a trade, but the forward's significant contract numbers make a deal challenging. Griffin is making over $36 million this season, with a $38 million player option for the 2021-22 season. He has regressed in recent years due to an onslaught of injuries, and is averaging a career-low 12.2 points per game this season.
