I made a post a couple weeks back in this thread detailing exactly why Griffin would leave.Dude is signing back. He brought the team the new trophy puzzle and enjoyed it. Now if he was distant and wasn't in the picture I'd think something is up and he's out. No reason to believe Griff won't be back here unless something this season rubbed him the wrong way completely. (Which could be)
It doesn't mean that Griff doesn't like it here or the organization, but people really underestimate how demanding being GM of this team is. Anything less than a championship, and people will start pointing fingers in your direction. You're directly responsible in shaping the legacy of one of the greatest players to ever play the game. It's a tremendous amount of pressure, and now that he's seen some success by winning a championship, it actually does make some sense to bail before this turns into a no-win situation for him.
Plus, like I said, being offered the title of President and essentially overseeing the entire organization is a promotion.
