I didn't want to run back, that's not what I am saying. In hindsight we would have been a lot better off not doing the Jrue/Grayson for Dame trade.
In hindsight it was a massive mistake, mostly because Dame is grossly overrated.
Griffin was the bigger mistake. Even with that trade, a great coach would make it work better than it has. Griffin nearly torpedoed our season, and now we have the best of a bad situation, which is a coach known for blowing big leads, but still generally better at running plays and man management than Grief.
Griffin was a dumb hire, but even if you never fire Bud or had hired Nurse. I think the results so far would be pretty much the same.
Because of Dame. People think Dame is a superstar, but he's really just Mo Williams with a green light.
If Dame is your #2 guy and your expectation is the NBA Finals. There is a 110% chance you are going to fall short of your expectations.
