What’s incompetent about David Griffin?
(1) Steven Adams -- putting a paint only big man next to your superstar interior PF who needs a clear paint to maximize his skill-set.
(2) Trading Jrue = Having the makings of a 45-50 win team that could easily become a 50+ team either through minor changes or internal development (Zion, Ingram, Ball) ... and deciding that is better to destroy that team and lose intentionally for longer team (possible) gains. Selling out Zion's short term ambitions.
(3) Putting Bledsoe a dodgy shooting PG next to your paint only center, interior based PF and dodgy shooting Lonzo Ball. Destroying your team's capacity to have any semblance of an offense due to not just inferior but outright pathetic spacing.
(4) I really cannot get over the
sheer lack of ambition David Griffin has & the sheer lack of faith / confidence David Griffin has in his young stars (Zion, Ingram). He has two of the finest young players in the league - already on his team! They are already All-Stars (or at least clearly on the path to it last summer).
This isn't a team that is starting over from scratch and entering a 3-5 year rebuilding stage. This is a team that needs to start moving forwards. Build something. Win. His decision making and willingness to sacrifice the present for the future was unnecessary and insulting (to the players and to the fans).
