You are right. It wasn't easy. Mr James was a hindrance to deals while he was a member of this roster. He wouldn't commit long term. He wanted his finger in all the deals. But, I don't think we are going to see Grant have to run things by Kyrie to get his approval before pulling the trigger on a trade like was done with LeBron. So, the situation is very different.
In those regards, things are better now then the first time around. Plus, we have additional draft picks as opposed to being short half of our first round picks. That is also very different then the last time around. So, we'll see how this all falls out in the end.
