re: In a sense, this has been a great scenario for us.

Its gotten so F'ing bad, the national ridicule is so strong, and fans are so apathetic, that Griffin basically has to act. And not just act, but act fairly big. OKC started a rebuild around when you did, went all in on actually rebuilding, and lapped the ever living frick out of you.
Anything remotely approaching status quo simply will not work.
Griffin/Benson's hands are forced.
Don't forget Minnesota. Zion's second year the Pelicans were 31-41, the Wolves were 23-49, and the Thunder were 22-50.
Fast forward a few years the Thunder and Wolves were two of the top three seeds in the West and the Pelicans had to win a play-in game just to make the playoffs, and are now about to get swept, while the Wolves swept the Lakers and OKC is about to do the sweeping as well.
Also, I don't believe for a second Griff will do anything big. They'll have a new center next year, maybe a new bench piece. But that's it.

At least one of BI or CJ will get moved. I can't imagine a universe where they go into the season with CJ/BI/Zion again, and pay Trey Murphy 100 mill

And got your only star player injured with 3 minutes left in the first play in game that he shouldn’t have even been playing in.
Just a total, complete and abysmal failure

Tim Connelly is the exact opposite of David Griffin. He talks to his star players and goes out and gets players to fit them. He went out and got Aaron Gordon when most people said he was nothing more than an overpaid dunker. It sounds crazy now, but he took a lot of criticism for that trade.
In Minnesota, he was roasted in the media (and on pelicans talk) for the Gobert trade. They said the same thing; overpaid, one way player. But no one ever talked about how Gordon and Gobert were elite at things his stars were deficient at.
I'm glad that the wolves are doing well. Unfortunately, it's just another reminder that this franchise sided with that fricking sour faced retard, Monty Williams, over Connelly and Demps.

I’ve said more than a few times, look at the Cavs. They’ve added all the players I said on here we should have targeted through the years.
Jarrett Allen when we traded for Adams. (Compensation was about the same) if Griff was more patient.
Lauri M when we could have had him for Ball
Drafting Garland at 4
Going all in and trading CJ or BI for Spyder when Utah moved him.
All players Griff could have easily got but passed.
