Yup. The game is the game. Everything everyone says, ever leak, has some level of calculation to it to change perception or move leverage.
Griffin is just trying to change the perception that we are anxious or hellbent on getting something done before the draft. He is telling teams that he is not in any rush, so if they think they can lowball just to have it done pre-draft he's not buying.

The Lakers and Knicks still control somewhat where he ultimately ends up long term assuming they provide adequate trade value back to the Pels. If they wait a year and allow him to be traded to another team this year, there is no guarantee he will ever be part of their franchise. He could resign with his existing team or the other team (Lakers or Knicks). The almost sure thing to a long term commitment is to acquire him this year and have him resign. Because of this, I think the Pels get what they want for him. Lakers or Knicks can't risk him hitting the open market next year and hopes he chooses their franchise.

Right, this is him just saying, "I'm not satisfied with current offers, and I'm not going to accept something before the draft just to, so up your offers."

It feels so good having competent leadership.
