This is revisionist history and a distortion of the facts. Compare the talent on the team in Davis 3rd season vs Zion this year.

The 2014-15 team had Evans, Gordon, Holiday, Anderson, Davis, Asik, Miller and some other decent depth. That team underperformed and still won 45 games. Injuries, fit and bad luck stunted that group going forward. But that team was loaded and should have been Championship contenders. Especially if Davis could have led them at all..

The team had talent, but the problem with Demps was he had no concept of synergy and how to build a complimentary roster.

I mean that is such a baffling group to spend all your assets on. Anderson was a terrible fit next to an AD that refused to play center and we should have cashed him in, Asik was just terrible. Jrue was Jrue, Gordon a decent 3 and D guy that was vastly overpaid, and Evans just didn't fit either. No forwards or forward defenders at the height of the forward era. No natural point guard yet three guards.

Just terrible roster construction...something Demps and Griff have in common, just they end up in that place differently. But both have stunk at building synergistic rosters.

No it isn't. Derps was atrocious. Even when he put together talent, it was extremely redundant and ill-balanced, hence jettisoning a quality center (Lopez) for the king of empty stats (Tyrec), only to have to turn around and overspend for mediocre to bad centers.

Did you seriously just include Asik and Miller in that?
