I don't think this team can be viable as constructed, even if you replaced Monty with a modern coach with a brain. That being said, I question the logic of how they play even as constructed. Their win condition is basically emulating the Grit and Grind Grizzlies. Instead, they shot MORE threes than the Lakers. If the goal is to be competitive, you should play to your strengths, not force a three ball meta.

My biggest issue with the team is Cade's utilization. He's a 6ft 7 point guard... he should be forcing awkward post ups and absolutely living at the free throw line. Maybe that's not his game, but what's the point of being a big floor general if you can't body smaller defenders?

He shouldn’t be a point guard. That’s one of the big issues. Secondary ball handler, yes. 30% usage guy? Absolutely not

He can back up smaller guards the problem is that his decision making is poor.
