Looks like they lost whatever "secret sauce" they had when they essentially rotated out their entire supporting cast around Dame/CJ. Spurs are in the same boat.
They also seriously underrated the impact of wing sized 3&D players. Replacing Aminu/Harkless with Bazemore/Hezonja. Whiteside is playing like DAJ. Not interested in defense or team results as long as he gets his rebounds.
I think with healthy Nurkic and Lilllard they would be better than the Suns or Timberwolves but overall they really screwed up in free agency.
