When they gave a sexual predator a guaranteed contract. They gave a bunch of money to a guy that couldn't get hired as a P.E coach.

Both teams look old and slow. Booker was the only one that looked to be in another gear.
They shot badly during the regular season. The previous season they were #1 in 3 pointers. They just went back to their normal in the playoffs.
Timberwolves receive:
• Rudy Gobert
Jazz receive:
• Malik Beasley • Patrick Beverley • Leandro Bolmaro • Walker Kessler (No. 22 pick in 2022 Draft) • Jarred Vanderbilt • 2023 first-round pick • 2025 first-round pick • 2026 pick swap • 2027 first-round pick • 2029 first-round pick
Dude they might lose 55 games. Golden State doesn't make a habit of letting good players leave their franchise.
The Bucks had problems with depth. They could not guard anyone past their starting 5. They lost their best perimeter defender and replaced him with a worst defender. Having the extra scoring will not matter if the other team scores more because of that. They lost in 5 to a less talented team with more depth. Now they have less defensive talent and less depth. There is your 2 + 2.
So your whole argument is based on what the Cavaliers and the Knicks did in regular season? How does that address changing out a very good two way player for an offensive only player to a team that was already getting handled defensively in its very last playoff series?
Please do not compare regular season stats to playoff stats. There are no Charlotte's or Washingtons in the playoffs so don't start with the "Knicks we're a juggernaut" foolishness.
Who lost to the lowly Knicks convincingly.
A team that got embarrassed defensively in the playoffs trades out its best defensive player for another guy that's never played defense is going to somehow have a better defense? How peculiar.
Tyler Herro is better than anything the Blazers have.
