Mavericks sign swingman Griffin

November 28, 2005
DALLAS (AP) -- The Mavericks re-signed free-agent swingman Adrian Griffin on Monday, looking to bolster a position hit by injuries.

Griffin played in 69 games for the Chicago Bulls last season and was to join Dallas in time for its game Monday night at Toronto. Griffin, who was with the Mavericks during the 2001-02 and '02-03 seasons, fills a vacancy that was created when Doug Christie was waived.

Swingman was supposed to be a strength for Dallas, but that was before Christie, Jerry Stackhouse and Josh Howard were injured. Keith Van Horn also has been slowed by a hand problem.

Stackhouse has yet to play this season. Howard was hurt Saturday night, and an MRI on Monday revealed he has a moderately sprained right ankle. There is no timetable for his return.

With the Bulls, Griffin averaged 2.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 9.7 minutes.

NEW YORK, December 6, 2005 – New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations Isiah Thomas announced today that forward/guard Qyntel Woods has been signed as a free agent.
Woods, 6-8, 220-pounds, has appeared in 118 career games for Portland and Miami over the past three seasons and averaged 3.1 points and 1.7 rebounds. The 24-year-old Memphis, TN-native was originally selected after his sophomore season out of Northeast Mississippi Community College by the Trail Blazers in the first round (21st pick overall) of the 2002 NBA Draft.

The roster is now at 15.

Isiah signs another under achiever. How suprising.

 

[NarlCavs]

It's a low risk move though. Woods does have good natural ability. If he doesn't work out than you just let him go at little cost.
Knicks took a chance on Jackie Butler last year and now he's showing he has some solid potential and could be a long term contributer.
