With his ability to actually draw up offense that maximizes guys strengths I hope we are able to see these two on the court together more often. A few years from now they will both be capable of switching 1 to 5 I think, which will make life hell for opossing teams offenses.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Two seasons ago, Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler waited to receive his Most Improved Player award and heap praise on his assistant coach. As Butler sat with his hands in his lap, the master of ceremonies read off the accolades of the Bulls staffers seated beside the young All-Star.
Adrian Griffin wasn't sitting on the stage, but Butler made sure to single him out in his acceptance speech.
“All my coaches had a lot to do with it,” Butler said. “… but I think Adrian Griffin had a lot because he had to deal with me just being unbearable.
“I think he has a lot to do with who I am.”After Thibodeau and his staff were let go in Chicago in May of 2015, it didn't take long for Griffin to land a job as an assistant with Orlando. When Chicago and Orlando played last season, Butler walked into the visitors' locker room before the game with a bag. Inside the bag was a handwritten letter from Butler, thanking Griffin for the impact he's had on his career.
Also inside the bag: a Rolex watch.
Griffin found Butler after the game and said while the Rolex might be worth tens of thousands of dollars, it was the handwritten note was priceless.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

Known as a gritty defender during his 9-year NBA playing career, Griffin's spent the last decade as an assistant with the Bucks, Bulls, Magic and Thunder. Well regarded around the league. Should be a good fit on Toronto's bench. https://t.co/2OsHmSu2uH

The Casey firing was universally despised by the NBA coaching fraternity and especially after he wins COTY today. lol. Good luck, Nick.
Love ya Dwane. Best to you in all your future endeavors. But sorry... a fraternity as coaches may be, this wasn’t some big surprise.

I didn't even know Griffin is a coach now.
He is well regarded around the league. Gained a lot of recognition when Jimmy Butler specifically mentioned Griffin for his role in Jimmy’s MIP season.
