Is there any excuse that a team with Desmond Bane & JJJ are 1-8 and the worst team in the league? (alien.top)

Fully understand they are missing Ja. And Adams is out for the year. But they still have 2 max contract guys in Bane and JJJ. Plenty of teams miss their star play and play fine. An example this year is the Kings missing Fox for 70% of their games, and they are chugging along fine. When the Grizz missed Ja a lot last year, they actually had a better W/L with Tyus Jones at helm.

I'm not expecting them to be a top 5 seed or anything. But 1-8??? The worst team in the league?? They've also had the easiest schedule in the league with playing the Blazers 2x, Jazz 2x, and Wizards (1-5 in those games). They gave Desmond Bane a $210 mil max contract to lead their team to a 1-8 start? Something is not adding up

Because they traded all their depth for young players, and all those young players are not not actually good. Tyus gone, Melton gone, Anderson gone.

Beyond J and Adams they also had other people out too.

The simply fact is that they wanted to get younger and younger despite already being good, and that's what we are seeing.
