As Pistons are currently out of the playoff picture, looking inwards for hope, Detroit's starting point guard hasn't been the ideal match for Griffin's solo heroics night in and night out.

About to make almost $35 million between this year and the next, RJ's numbers on the court does not match his salary as of late. He is averaging just 14.5 ppg so far in the season and shooting less than 40% from the field apparently.

Against the Heat, Reggie played for a handsome 35 minutes, only to chip in 9 points, 5 rebound and a couple of assists on a sub-par 3-of-8 shooting night. This was Jackson's second single-digit scoring total in the last five games.

He was one of the three Pistons' starters to end up in single-digits in terms of scoring, also committing four personal fouls in the process. To summarise, he can be shopped by the Pistons before the trade deadline if he continues to post highly disappointing numbers for a team's starting point guard.
