People are giving him a pass this year only

Right, but we shouldn't.

He played over half the season out of shape and not giving enough effort.

It's great that the final 2 months the light bulb seemed to go off and we saw the best Zion we've seen, that's super.

But IMO he shouldn't get a pass for the 1st 4 months. The whole point is to show up day 1 in camp in the best possible shape. And if you're the best player, you should be in better shape than any other player on this team, not dead last. Had he did that, and all we're asking here is to be a professional, this team wins well over 50 games and is a top 4 seed.

I'd argue that it's Griff's job more than anything else, to ensure the face of his franchise is bought in. Whether it's doing it himself or through the coach Griff has...your main job is keep the face of the franchise happy, engaged, and all in and that hasn't happened for a full season in 5 years now. Griff shares some responsibility in that as well.
