There are three ways to add players

Each of these help construct a roster. The roster has absolutely been constructed in this way. What is hard to understand about that?
We drafted Suggs Paolo and Franz.
Hammond and Weltman each have spoken about their "positional size", "length" and "defense" philosophies when 'constructing' a roster. The present team resembles the product of it. Each of these happened after the Vuc trade.
So yes, the current team has been 'constructed' within their blueprint.
Having a priority on skill sets, and utilizing the draft, has been their only way of dealing with this.
Furthermore, their draft picks POST selecting Paolo #1 are not contributing currently.
Sure but that's not what you said, you said moves made "post-vuc trade"
The original point I was making…
Is that they had Gary Harris, Isaac, Carter, Fultz, Cole etc. PRIOR to drafting their main core of Paolo, Franz, and Suggs.
The argument is that they have not
ADDED a supporting cast of players knowing who their core was beforehand - hence “building backwards”.
To assume they had all their supporting role players
BEFORE without knowing
HOW things like offense were going to be run. That’s the point.
Drafting players and not playing them isn’t really contributing to that point. They have moved nobody out of those original players. They have made no additions aside from Goga, who doesn’t play, and Ingles who is a mediocre addition in the second unit.
Nobody has been added and they haven’t “constructed” anything post knowing who makes up the core . I’m not really even saying something that is an opinion… it’s just a fact based in reality.
