You can't be a prisoner of sunk cost.
I sure as shite can be upset that we wasted a 1st round pick to sign a RFA, especially considering we had our own RFA that we let go and we got dog shite for, and Lonzo was the much better player.
IT was stupid then, and it's still stupid. That's not a sunk cost, it was a stupid arse cost at that moment and every moment after. I'm not going to ignore the past. Yes i get it you have to move on, but we can still remember the dumb and wasteful decisions he's made thus far and use them to judge if he should be in charge going forward.
The point is Griff has done more wasting of the warchest than using it over the last 3 years, and i think you are anyone else that wants him in charge of it going forward is crazy. The only positive thing he's done is draft Trey Murphy and trade the Bucks 25 1st for CJ and Larry. And despite everyone hating on CJ, that is still an awesome trade.
I have never been on the Griff bandwagon. he's made some nice moves, and he's made some really dumb moves, like most GMs. I've given him praise when warranted. But i still think he's the wrong person to captain our ship.
think about this, where would we be without the luck of finding Herb and Jose and Naji? and don't say he's responsible for that. finding 2nd round picks and undrafted guys that are capable of playing major minutes for a playoff team is complete luck. Would we have been a play in and playoff team without them last year? would we have been a playin team without them this year?
and i don't blame him for Jax, NAW, Kira, somewhat, b/c i know the draft is a crapshoot as well, but you drafted #8, #17 and #13, and you really have not a damn thing to show for it b/c they have little to no value on the trade market, and they don't play minutes for you.
The #8 and #13 picks in the draft historically say that you have about a 35% chance of drafting someone who's either a straight bust or is a bench player, meaning they aren't in your normal rotation by year 4. at #17 is more like 50%. He's made 5 picks, and 3 of them are in that bust/bench role, 1 of them is going to be a starter, and we'll see with Dyson but i think Dyson is a rotational player at worst. For some crazy reason, the only guys that have been successful draft picks have been the guys that aren't 19 years old.
Remember, this is the guy that drafted Anthony Bennett. That's what happens when the guy in charge thinks he's the smartest guy in the room at all times.
