re: Griffin's strategy has to be banking on internal growth and shedding toxic attitudes

I’m not trying to take sides here, but

even though he never said anything bad about….his role

This isn’t exactly true, though you are right that he didn’t complain publicly. We wanted him to play more 2 and be the secondary playmaker, but part of the reason he is in CHI is because he wanted to be the lead facilitator and floor general. The Pels showed him that he’s best suited to be more 3 and D wing, but wants more of a role than that. It is what it is.

doesn’t miss games

This also isn’t exactly true either. Lonzo has missed about 30% of games in his career, averaging 22 games missed a season. It’s been better the last two years, but he’s not exactly an iron man when it comes to availability.

No matter how you feel about Lonzo, it’s hard to imagine the Pels letting him go to CHI as being the sliding doors moment between championships or busts
