re: Hollinger on the Status of the Pels

This thread is mostly fruitless back and forth of extreme points of view.

It can be true that both the roster isn’t in shambles and Griff has made enough mistakes to be replaced.

The state of the franchise/front office may be in question. The state of Zion’s health may be in question. But I think they have the right coach in place and the roster is fine. Mistakes have absolutely been made but:

- Ingram is better than most of us expected
- Hart was a throw in that has improved enough that he replaces the value you lost by not trading Lonzo sooner for better value.
- The “worthless” late picks that have been spent so far have been turned into a 20/10 starter making $15 per year.
- Herb is a long term starter that helps make up for blowing #4

Far from perfect, and I don’t believe Griff should get a pass because he was fortunate enough to have the low probability pieces pay off after he blew the high probability pieces. But some of you only focus on the misses and act like the cupboard is bare when there is still a lot to like about this roster and the assets they have going forward.

Likewise the sunshine pumpers acting like everything is good because the Pels are close to the play in…the West is a mess this year, and the Play In is still the 10th seed. Those are pretty low bars to be measuring with.
