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

They are missing Ja, Adams, Clarke and Tyus and Brooks are gone, that's 3 starters from last year and 2 good role players. It's obviously gonna take them time to adapt, and their role players are not great, as well as their depth with all the injuries.
