Congrats. You were right. I appreciate you pulling all those sources.

But that presupposes not making the trade with Atlanta. If we magically could go back, wouldn't we just go after Morant? Trade a mega package to Memphis for the 2nd pick?

Another issue with a redraft using hindsight is that we still don't end up with Garland. He would go 3rd to the Knicks. We would be stuck with either Barrett or Hunter. We can't be the only team redoing it with that type of knowledge..

They weren't taking. They believed(and it has proven mostly right) that Morant was the 1B to Zion and a superstar talent they could centerpiece around.

The argument isnt a redraft with hindsight, its that Griff should have simply taken BPA of Garland(or even Hunter, who when healthy is a top 10 perimeter defender that can switch five positions).

Griff did that thing he does where he goes deep into his dunning-Krueger personality and thinks he's smarter than everyone else and turns out, he isnt

That was never a realistic option.
