No more season tickets for me! If I want to attend a game I can buy tickets for way less than face value!

I’ll take good/adequate for our Front Office. I’ve seen the alternative more often than not. Griffin needs to learn from his mistakes, and he could be a very good GM.

He’s been drafting well. Herb, Trey, Missi, maybe Hawk. All were solid picks at the spot he got them.


What good does it do if he's incompetent in getting the right coach. He's done half a job.

We have drafted really well.


Has he?

Zion was a no brainer.

The trade down from 4 to get a raw center in Jaxson and NAW did not work out at all. It's dumb to trade down, and it's dumb to take a raw young center in the top 10.

Kira was a stupid pick. Smallest guy in the league.

Trey was a solid pick at 17.
Herb turning into a starter out of the 2nd round is luck. There's plenty of veteran college guys who did well their senior year and go in the 2nd round that amount to nothing, much less end up being an all-defensive player and sure starter for every team in the league. Congrats on making an educated guess that worked out.

Dyson was a good pick, but what did you get for him? You traded 2 first round picks with him to get a guy no one wanted to give up just 2 firsts for at the trade deadline. And I like Murray, but our idiot GM gave up too much for him. Almost every report basically said 2 firsts and salary filler, yet we gave up 2 firsts and a top 10 pick who showed signs of being an all-nba defensive player.

We'll see how Hawkins pans out, but I still like the pick. I like his offensive skillset and more than that i like his attitude and confidence to go with it. It was a smart pick like the Trey pick.

Been able to get guys to extend on team friendly deals.


so just being a normal decent GM. gotcha.
I thought it was ridiculous how long it took to give Trey his extension. We should not have started the season without it already in place, and instead didn't get it signed until literally the last day you could extend him.

BI thinks he’s a top 15 player and he’s not.


You think BI thinks he's one of the best 15 players in the league simply b/c he wants a max contract? He wants a max contract b/c any human being would want that, and it's been given out to similar players.The league is changing, as it should, b/c guys like BI should not be getting a max contract on their 3rd contract, but that's how it's been done in the past, so of course that's what he wants.





He's not a good GM. He never was a good GM. Almost every trade he's made he's either given up too much, or didn't get back enough. He has no idea how to find a competent center, or that there's such a thing as a backup 4. It was a stupid hire from the get go. He's been given more than enough to be successful, and he simply isn't. He has completely wasted the AD and Jrue returns pretty much, and that's why he should be fired more than anything else. We used to be the team everyone envied b/c of getting Zion and having that war chest. 5 years later we have nothing to show for that, and meanwhile the favorites to win the West while we jockey for last place is a team who was in almost the exact situation we were in back in 2019, and they didn't have the #1 and #4 pick that year ( they drafted Darius Bazley, and then drafted that stick figure the next year)

We don't have an ownership group that has any idea how to run a business, much less how to run a basketball team. That's the problem.
