David Griffin has had a busy offseason for the New Orleans Pelicans that has largely consisted of cleaning up his own mistakes.
He traded Eric Bledsoe and Steven Adams for Jonas Valanciunas, which cost the Pelicans seven spots in the draft and a future first-round pick.
He worked a sign-and-trade with the Bulls for Lonzo Ball, who signed a 4 year $85 million deal to go to Chicago.
He then did another sign-and-trade deal with the Hornets, sending them a lottery-protected first round pick for Devonte’ Graham, who he then inked to a 4 year, $47 million extension.
