re: Do you think Griff and the front office are satisfied with just beating average/bad teams?

Blame the org, and to a lesser extent Z.

Blame the org for not understanding until 2 years ago that, in this NBA, you need shooting, but the bulk of the blame belongs to Zion's lack of availability.

That is not only directly responsible for him not progressing into the superstar that I'm sure the FO assumed he would be in year 5, but also because him hardly ever being on the court didn't allow for the FO to gather data on how productive/unproductive a Z/BI led team could be.

We've essentially just been in "wait for Zion to be healthy" mode since the day he got hurt in the preseason of his rookie year, while trying to cobble together competitive seasons in the meantime to keep the fanbase engaged with the carrot of "just watch how good we'll be when we're fully healthy"
