The OP?

Which part?

Griff started with Zion, Jrue & AD. That they never played together is not relevant. Griff started with those 3 assets at his disposal. There's nothing flawed or intellectually dishonest about that.

That is a great starting point for any front office person, and any logical person would expect more than the...nothing we've accomplished in 5 seasons. In these 5 seasons, 13 of the 15 teams in the West have secured a 6 seed at least once. We're 1 of the 2 that haven't. Again, with those 3 assets as your starting point, that's a massive failure any logical or non-flawed or intellectually honest way to review it. We failed, Griff failed.

So they never played or even practiced together, but you viewed them as being on the same roster?

AD was demanding a trade to basically one team. That is not a good position to be in as a GM. Much less act like it's a great starting point. His options were limited and he made about the best trade he could have possibly made. You can knock Griff for numerous things, but the Lakers trade isn't one of them. Literally everybody was happy with that trade and agreed that that was about as could as you could have ever done given the circumstances. Now we're going to pretend that it was a bad trade?

AD and 5 seasons means nothing.

We would have had a disgruntled AD for a year and then nothing.

Best case scenario is he sits out all year were terrible and we have Anthony Edwards right now.
