Well, the Bensons just bought the team about 6 and a half years ago, and you dont put all these things together overnight, so you can expect them to be behind a little...
This team is leaps and bounds better off than they were before Tom and Gayle bought it.

When you’re forced to get a GLeague team because the NBA is about to make mandatory,that’s not impressive.
A new practice facility? Probably a condition of sale.
That’s not jumping to the top of the league...it’s barely keeping up with the Jones’s...
This ownership group isn’t special. It’s bottom 5 in the league. NBA circles all acknowledge this, but you’re trying to make some arguement that they are a good group..:because the Saints? gtfo with that noise.

To win big in the NBA, especially in small markets, you need to create every possible advantage you can. The goal is to be #1 of 30. And if that weren't hard enough, when you are in a small market, you start off the competition with a smaller margin of error.
So, ownership being "not bad" or "better than before" when they were atrocious is simply not good enough. If you spent one day in the offices in say OKC or San Antonio, the difference between the way their franchises are run from top to bottom vs. how the Pels do things would blow you away.
I will accept the argument that they aren't terrible. That is could be worse. But that means nothing to me. It's a business that is worth 600 million - 1 billion dollars. Hire a freaking President and VP of the company that don't have another job that takes priority. Thats the very least you can do.
