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.

100% correct on all points. Trading the 4th overall pick was incredibly stupid at the time and looks even worse now. He played it like this was the NFL Draft or something, it rarely makes sense to trade down in a draft when you hold a top 5 pick. Awful awful decision. He did nail it in the next draft with TM3 and Herb which helps lessen the sting but still. Jury is still out on Dyson and Hawkins but yeah, why the hell did he retain Gentry? That made no sense at the time as well. This franchise is such a mess despite having a pretty damn talented roster.
