Trade & FA 2024-25:

I don't believe this, but I do believe getting him back healthy so he's recovered and performing by the TDL is key.

David Griffin is terrible.  I don't know how he got such a great reputation from CLE.  I could win a championship with young Kyrie and top of form Lebron.  $133million for Zion, Ingram, CJ, and Murray????  What does it take for Benson to fire ineptitude?  Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis were the worst HC/GM combo in the NFL.  She FINALLY fired Allen, but Loomis is still there, with rumors that he is returning.

Griffin is interesting.   He has done a fabulous job with second round picks and undrafted guys.  Just awesome. 

The trades are a little perplexing though.   Maybe he just got unlucky with a franchise guy and the rest is tough to overcome.   

Just seems like a mixed bag.  Really good drafting but just some weird trades/roster building.   I mean Marshall, Herb Jones, Alvarado, Trey Murphy.    Those are really nice moves.   McCollum is a good player but just an odd fit on every team.   They trading for Murray seemed like a bad idea.   Look at both trades too.  It seems like not a great deal for either already.
