What’s the point of having a bunch of draft picks if we aren’t going to play them the first year. I hate this method. We won’t know who has it or who doesn’t. And I do not want to pay a guy based on his potential when his contract is due.

This statement assumes when you play young guys you are destined to lose.

Memphis has a very young roster and I don't think they don't value winning. They are just trying to win with their young guys.

This nostrum that veterans have the corner on knowing how to win is narrow minded. But for sure Griffin and SVG are on the same page--they don't like young players.

I get that Griffin thinks he's building a "culture" but I'm not sure that's going to turn out to be the case. He stated that Bledsoe and Adams would make the team more competitive and intense and I can't really see that has happened. It looks more like he overvalued some mediocre veterans and generally misunderstands what goes into winning.

If you wonder why we don't have depth and young talent we are bringing along be sure it's because Griffin chose to give that away in favor of veterans like Adams and Bledsoe and Redick--for their winning "culture."
