Griff with the rare good move.

So is this move enough to get us to the playoffs?

Seeing as we've already made it to the last play-in spot, I would say yes.

I guess I meant to actually keep us there and competitive once the playoffs get going.

Talent wise I would say yes, I think the question is more how quickly Green can get them to mesh on the court.

But, isn’t his contract a 3-year 100MM deal?

Hope it works, but sounds a bit steep of a contract to take on.

Great get... Exactly the type of player they need. The big question is... When can we get a starting lineup of Zion, Graham, Jonas, CJ, and BI...?

That's when the real noise can be made. CJ gives them a legit scorer, pick n roll presence, floor spacer, and 3 ball threat... boarder line Star... but without Zion... it's incomplete.

Has there been any recent word on Zion? I haven't heard much of anything, but could have missed it. My guess is he won't be back this season.

No idea... maybe his foot magically starts feeling better now that we have a guy that can drain wide open clutch 3s?

He's been rehabbing in Portland I think. Coincidence?

It's amazing that the Pels got themselves into the position they did with the way things started. Hopefully McCollum can help keep them there.

Feel bad for Josh Hart and NAW....they don't want to leave. Hart is at the game tonight wearing an Ingram jersey. I think this shows how much Willie Green has already changed the culture...I was really excited when we hired him. Just universally liked and respected by his coworkers and players under him.

Griffin has been treated unfairly IMO. He did as well as anybody could ask with the Anthony Davis trade, the McCollum trade looks great, this past draft looks like it will be amazing (I still think Trey Murphy will at least be solid, Herb Jones is really good especially for a 2nd rounder, and Alvarez is looking like a good bench player already as an undrafted rookie. Plus he did draft Jaxson Hayes which is looking much better now that we have a coach playing him at the 4 instead of the 5
