The team last year with Russ off the court was one of the worst in the NBA. Go look at his on court/off court stats.
There’s a reason 6th seed team produced an MVP which almost never happens. Russ had to be in God mode for them to even make it to the playoffs and there they only made it 5 games. In large part because they couldn’t play certain players such as one you mentioned, Kanter, against the Rockets.
Edit:
To be clear: you’re questioning them trading Oladipo (horrible contract) + Sabonis for George AND questioning trading Kanter, McDermott, and a 2nd round pick for Melo??

No, I'm questioning the trade of Kanter and the draft pick for Melo, the PG13 trade was great and immediately improved that team on paper bc of what PG contributes on a 2-way basis in addition to Russ and the Stache Brothers as well as the depth they have on bench. IDK what trading for Melo accomplishes in terms of translating to team success considering his relative diminution as an effective volume scorer and his reputation as a ball-stopper which has tanked the New York franchise. Also, THEY LET TAJ GIBSON GET AWAY. This team is not a championship team by any stretch and likely won't be in the long run if PG13 leaves next year or Melo once his contract expires thus enabling Russ to return to his HeroBall, inefficient ways.
