1. Trading down and passing on Garland
2. Not trading Ball for Lauri M not once but twice when he had the chance.
3. Putting up a first for Devontae Graham should have never been on the table.
4. A first for Steven Adams lol
5. Not burning the war chest for Spyder off the Jazz when he had the chance.
6. The entire BI fiasco, not trading him years ago.
7. Including DD in the Murray package.
8. Not trying to trade up for Haliburton when he started slipping in the draft.

Almost all of these moves I said at the time and got shite on by the board and I ended up being 100% right about.

The main reasons? I mean the entire organization was betting on their 2 “stars” to take the team to the next level. Unfortunately for them the 2 stars were Zion and BI, two of the softest most unprofessional players I’ve ever seen in New Orleans basketball history lmao

Decided to build around Zion before Zion showed any commitment to the team.

Giving away Dyson Daniels was the final icing on the cake.

The main reason he got fired is Zion.

If Zion is healthy every season and has that dog in him we are in a totally different spot.

Griff made a lot of mistakes and we 100% needed to fire him, but the biggest issue with his time running the Pelicans was what's fricked us for 15 years: insane, outlier injury luck.

Murray's achilles was the icing on the cake of the Griffin era.
