Not trading Lonzo for Lauri was equally as bad in hindsight


It's not so much not trading him for Lauri, as it is letting the Bulls have him in a S&T, when the Bulls could not complete the signing without us doing the S&T, and all we got back was a shite sandwich. And don't tell me we needed Satoransky to get CJ, that's just silly.

and to top it off he gave in to Charlotte and gave away a 1st round pick to S&T for Graham, who Charlotte had no intention of resigning or matching the contract we were offering him. I would have loved to been in the room when they realized they got a 1st round pick from him and it was finalized. They had to have been rolling on the ground laughing at how stupid Griff was. We could have been operating as an under the cap team if we wanted to, and signed him outright at that time. Then the dumbass has to turn around and give 4 2nd round picks away to get rid of him.

He gave up a pick to get rid of Bledsoe, and a month later Memphis trades him and gets back Beverly, Rondo, Oturo, and loses no picks.

Griff has no idea what he's doing, and he never has, and he's going to frick up this offseason if he's still the GM.

I will never undstand that one.

We had 100% of the leverage, Chicago had 0%. I see no world where the Bulls were NOT going to give up at least a 1st to add Lonzo. And if they weren't, oh well...not our problem. I'll just never understand why we couldn't get a 1st out of that deal.
