Teams eye Eddie

Dec 28, 2003 8:07 AM EST

Several teams are interested in signing recently0released and troubled forward Eddie Griffin.

It is said that the Knicks, Nets, Raptors, Pistons, and Heat are interested.

In fact, Nets president Rod Thorn has offered Griffin a contract likely for one year at the league minimum.

"We've talked to everybody we need to," Thorn said of a background check on Griffin. "We've done our due diligence regarding him. He's an introverted kid, obviously. He doesn't do a whole bunch of talking, but we feel he has a chance to be a very good player. You don't find guys with that size and that kind of talent."

New Knicks president Isiah Thomas is also interested but won't say whether or not he would be contacting Griffin's agent, Arn Tellum.

Thorn excepts Griffin to make a decision early this week.
