Is this team the dumbest vet team ever?

The problem is this roster is the antithesis of modern NBA construction. Look at every great team in the league right now.
They can all shoot threes at an efficient and high clip. We can’t. Especially without Lonzo.
They all have two-way players across the roster and especially usually their best players are two-way as well. All of our best players are net negatives on defense basically every night.
They have athletic wings. We don’t.
It’s relatively simple. It’s a roster destined to fail unless they’re perfectly clicking on all cylinders. As you can see, they haven’t been at that level since Lonzo got hurt.
Is Billy a top coach? No, but I think he’s dealing with a really awkward roster devoid of two-way talent. I don’t put too much blame on him personally.

We had our chances to draft the right guy multiple times and we didn’t. I was ok with the Lauri pick at the time. 2018 I wanted to bring in Mikal Bridges to give us an elite wing defender and efficient shooter. The perfect compliment to play alongside a guy like Lavine. 2019 I wanted a trade back with the Celtics and to take Brandon Clarke and Grant Williams. 2020 Haliburton was the obvious choice at PG.
PG Haliburton
SG Lavine
SF Mikal Bridges
PF Lauri
BN Clarke
BN Williams
We would have needed to find a Center still, but with Clarke and Grant Williams off the Bench, that would have gave us perfect depth and versatility. Not to mention if we built properly through the draft, we would have had boatloads of money to chase a C and to fill out our bench. I would have loved that young group.
Not taking Haliburton is the toughest one. I get swinging on upside with Williams, but Haliburton had such a high floor coming out and his upside was clearly underrated in the pre draft process.
