Alex Len
Dragen Bender
Marquise Chriss
Josh Jackson
2. Traded Isaiah Thomas and the Lakers first round pick to Boston and Philly to get Brandon Knight. Then, he gave Knight a massive extension to where he had to attach players to turn it into and equally awful Ryan Anderson contract.
3. Signed Tyson Chandler to a big FA deal as part of a plan to lure Lemarcus Aldridge that failed miserably.
4. Extended TJ Warren to a contract that made the team give up a high 2nd rounder to dump after he was injured and missed over 40 games.
5. Failed to bring in an FA PG despite having cap space after taking a big man #1 overall. This left Ayton to play his rookie season with DeAndre Melton, Isaiah Cannan, Jamal Crawford and Ellie Okobo as his PGs.
All in all, a pretty brutal showing of incompetence
