But again, I also don't think we'll ever be a contender with Griff running the show. Zion is more than likely going to be on his 4th different head coach in 6 years and I'd bet isn't re-signing with us once his contract is up. This team won't ever make a finals with Zion. We've had to hit the reset button too many times, partially due to bad luck with his injuries, partially due to him being a tad immature and partially due to us not putting a team or coaching staff around him that allows him to flourish. Unfortunately we saw this same thing play out with AD and history is repeating itself.


God damn man this makes me even more depressed as a pels fan but honestly you’re probably right. Oh well bring on Game 2 because I’m a glutton for punishment.

Zion's injuries is the big reason why this will likely go down as a wasted era, but you could make an argument it all began when Griff outsmarted himself in the 2019 draft and turning the 4th pick (Garland) into Hayes and NAW. That and Zion barely playing as a rookie with a lame duck coach in Uncle Al.

Also, while the return we got on AD wasn't terrible, imagine how much better it could've been if there was a true open market for him and not Klutch forcing him to LA. Maybe it wouldn't have mattered though because Griff basically wasted the warchest.
