AD and Zion never wore the same uniform at the same time. They weren't ever really on a roster together.
You are arguing semantics. True. They never played together. He had the number one pick which everyone knew was going to be Zion. He could have held on to AD if he wanted to and those three would have been on the roster at the same time, correct? He choose to trade AD.
Point remains, he was gifted the number one pick with two generational talents at the top. An all NBA player in his prime, and an all star guard in his prime. And what do we have to show for it?

Toni had one foot out his final season. I don't know how much of a choice this was. Toni wanted to play with Lebron and he forced the trade. I guess you could have kept him one more year, but he likely would have sat on the bench and we would have gotten zero in return when he left the next year.

He would have gone full Harden if we kept him, sat out with fake injuries, then we wouldn't have gotten Hart, Lonzo, BI, any of the picks, or CJ.
Saying Griff had Zion and AD at the same time intellectually dishonest. It's not a real argument.

It's simple. Zion's injuries have delayed the progression of the franchise. Nothing more. And I'm still very pro Zion. The only real mistake I would say Griff made was not taking Garland. But at the same time, as you've said, we already had Jrue, Lonzo, JJ, and Josh Hart that season. Who knows if Garland has the same trajectory playing 12 minutes a night his first 2 years instead of 30+.

Is this a joke? You realize AD gave up on the team midway through the season and requested a trade and wore a "that's all folks" shirt on the bench in his last game right? It's dumb to think he could have kept AD.
