I no particular order, I jotted down some notes:

We interviewed 9 coaches for the job. Stan was the only one that seen the Point Zion vision.

Ingram is a leader of this team, and is the guy they feel will take the initiative to get everyone together for offseason workouts and to build as a team.

Zion nor Ingram will have any input from the team for the Olympics, basically said its their decision and they will support them.

This offseason, they will place an emphasis on BBIQ, Shooting and Toughness.

There was no tax mandate from ownership this season, they just decided now is not the time to start the tax "clock".

If he could go back and re-do the season he would not get this close to the tax and hinder other moves. I took this as he wouldn't trade for Steven if he could have a redo.

The core is 2 players, Zion and BI.

Hart and Ball are championship caliber players and they want them back.

The team you seen this year is not the team they are, he feels they are pretty much in the middle of the REALLY good team we seen, and the team that blew multiple double digit leads.

Happy about the culture, not happy about the on court results.

Griff is such a bull shitter. He’s just saying this to justify the hiring.

Yeah...let's see if Griffin learns from his mistakes, and this offseason he made many.

What has either of those guys done to prove they are championship caliber players in the NBA?

BBIQ cannot be taught. Hopefully this means bringing in players via the draft, trade, and FA that have a higher bbiq, and getting rid of those that don't have it.
Toughness cannot be taught. NAW dove for the ball stealing it from Lebron last night in the 1st quarter. Lonzo wouldn't have done that in the last seconds of a playoff game.

NAW, Kira, Hart, Naji all need to become better shooters.

We have to say that if we want to be compensated in a S&T, but i do believe they want them both back.

Griff is more than likely telling a lie here, but let's assume he is telling the truth. This is an indictment on his ability to find good candidates to interview. "Point Zion" is far from a super creative idea that no one saw coming besides a 60 year old coach out of the league.

For all those saying where going to overpay Zo Griff called him a playoff caliber rotational player. We view bringing Josh back as a higher priority over Zo

One question I would have is does Griffin's real focus on Point Zion in all of his comments either during yesterday's game or today make us less likely to pursue Point Guards/ball handlers?

No shite Sherlock. Said it was a bad trade when it happened and way overpaid him after the numbers were reported.

If he thinks this is true, we in trouble in what he perceives Balls value to be. Hart isn’t that big of a deal. No one is gonna throw the bank at him.

This is terrifying.

He needs to realize this team is EXACTLY what they are. They are a talented, UNDERACHIEVING, group of players who blow big leads because they are not good as a TEAM.

We have plenty of great individual performances, we even have some great two man games, but we never put it together as a complete team. You can see other teams come in and just play better with each other but they don't have the talent the Pels have. A good coaching staff is needed more than any player changes.
