The main thing is the salary cap. Signed lebrons buddies JR smith, TT to horrible deals. Love's deal was also crap.
They picked Bennett, and TT and Waiters. The only one they truly got right was Irving and Wiggins who they traded . Just bad front office combined with Lebron forcing the cavs to sign his friends

I don't think Wade/Rose matters in the grand scheme of things.
I think with Wade they take at least 1 game maybe 2.

I still think the front office did a pretty decent job of surrounding LeBron with talent bc LeBron's lack of commitment left their hands pretty tied up. Had to make every move with a contingency plan in mind in case LeBron left.
How so? LeBron was committed, what the hell are you talking about son?
He kept on signing 1 year deals. That's not a commitment to the team. It also gave Kyrie a chance to force his way out early so he wouldn't be stuck with this mess of a roster after LeBron bails.

Was TT that bad of a pick? He’s been a monster in the playoffs.
