I was miserable,” Griffin told Sports Illustrated. “Literally the moment we won the championship I knew I was gonna leave. There was no way I was gonna stay for any amount of money.” Griffin’s contract expired in 2017 and he did move on — less than two weeks after the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors in the NBA Finals....
