Griff started with Zion, Jrue & AD. That they never played together is not relevant.


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

That is a great starting point for any front office person,


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?

I think OP and shell are viewing them as assets on the team at the time. They’re technically not wrong.

Was it a good trade at the time- yes. Has it still been a good trade for us? Thats debatable. Both can be true. A trade at the time can be great but maybe in the long run it isnt as much. And yes, a GM is judged by both.

He started with 3 assets

Zion
AD
Jrue


How many POBOs generally start with that many assets?

It's better than probably 90% of incoming POBOs hired externally.

It's a fantastic starting point.

So it's good trade becuase of all the winning we've done over the past 5 years?
