Because LONG TERM it makes no sense to be in the playoffs without Zion. Not everyone is short sighted as you. You get a lower pick and in the grand scheme it does nothing for this team other than put money in Gayles pockets and less pressure to make actual changes.


Wrong, it’s best long term to be in the playoffs for player development.

And to top it off, look at Griffs history in the draft, the 14 pick matters when he’s taking players like Kira at 13 lol? Or passing on Garland for players like Jaxon at 8?

I think the 7 slots higher in the draft is more meaningful than losing a few playoff games without Zion.

Or he drafts the next Trey Murphy and Herb Jones. You pass it off like it's zero chance we draft someone that can be a rotation player.

Where has the player development from the 22 playoffs gotten us? 1 loss away from missing the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row

What about organization development and making necessary changes??? Lets be honest we know who Herb and Trey are- we’ve seen them in this environment. Dyson is the only guy. Hawkins wont even play.

So now higher pick doesn’t matter because Griff has had some bad picks? If thats the case we should just do what Dell Demps does and trade every pick (which a higher pick matters in trading it too).
