So what you're saying is "way more assets" = only Jrue Holiday? Ok
The real advantage Griffin has is ownership.
Uh, because Demps negotiated a terrible deal on his own and had to be overruled by David Stern. The return for Paul was good on paper, just like all these future picks look good on paper right now
Griffin's 2020 off-season was a disaster, but he made changes and the team still has flexibility going forward. That very rarely happened with Demps.
We'll see how it shakes out (I'm not particularly optimistic), but Demps was a two bit GM for a two bit organization.

Yeah, I think we have to avoid comparing Griffin to Derps. Making less asinine moves than Derps is an extremely low bar. If that comparison becomes relevant, it's time to fire Griffin.
The good news is that it's not yet a reasonable comparison. Griffin isn't as hung up on sunk costs as Derps always was, throwing good money after bad. That said, you can't dismiss wasting assets like he did trading for, then getting out from under Adams.
Has he made some bad decisions? Absolutely. Have they all been bad? Absolutely not. This is a step up from Derps.
