What they bet on were one dimensional players in a league that is getting better and better at exploiting your weaknesses
Excellent point and very true. It's a versatile league now. The irony is that they have one of the best and most versatile players in the league, yet have surrounded him with largely one way guys.

I mean this is pretty much rehashing stuff talked ad nauseum.
I'd like to see realistic solutions
You can't move forward without understanding how you got here. It's not knee jerk "fire demps." It's an autopsy. And there are no "realistic" solutions. They need time and luck to right the ship. The only thing they need to avoid is a quick fix plan.

It took Golden State 5-6 years to build around Steph. They didn't make the playoffs his first few years in the league. Hell Setph didn't avg over 20pts a game until like his 4th or 5th year.
True, the Pels still have time. But GS also didn't send out 3 years of 1sts to build a team around Steph. Klay, Barnes, Ezeli, Green are all drafted and developed players. They spent those first few years of Steph's career together, building an identity. Plenty of luck involved too, of course.

This isn't all knee jerk. Some of us have been calling him the problem for going on 3 years.

Totally agree with all of this. Dell made a mess of our roster/payroll with a bunch of attempts at quick fixes. It's one step forward, two steps back on repeat.
