He is basically blowing much of the assets we accumulated in the AD and Jrue trade

Is he though? I get why people feel that way, but

- Lakers picks/swaps still have all but the least valuable 2022 pick
-#4 Lakers pick: Jury is still out and NAW/Jaxson should give us the verdict by the end of the season.
- Bucks picks, blew the 2021 pick on Steven Adams, still have the rest.
- Still have Ingram/Hart
- Lonzo is a loss of value, but most of us wanted to trade him during the AD trade precisely because we thought his value was higher then (allegedly a top 10 1st from Phoenix) than it would be now.

So of all of the assets Lonzo was wasted, a few 1sts in the 20s were wasted, and the jury is out on #4. Everything else is more or less intact and I'd argue that Ingram was better than expected as many of us valued the bundle of picks more than the players at first.

I'm not defending Griff here, he has for sure been wasteful and dumb with several moves. I'm just saying when you tally it all up, the losses aren't as bad as they feel.
