Guys that could shoot for one, Griffin did it... Altman couldn’t. Put shooters around LeBron,
it worked for so long no need to change it....[

LOL “on paper”
Every single one of those guys was a bad fit. Did you not watch the 2018 playoffs?
Seems to me like you guys may have forgotten what we saw in the
2017 playoffs.
The team Griffin built around LBJ in 2016 was no longer equal to even 2016 GSW by 2017, and significantly behind GSW with KD. Key cogs acquired (and then overpaid) like JR, Shump, and TT all took steps backwards in 2017, and were not the players they had been in 2016. Yet because of Griff's own decisions, we were still stuck with overpaying them. Notice that even in 2017, Griff himself had so tied his own hands with contracts that he couldn't significantly improve the team at the deadline.
It's like Griff built a team for max speed in 2016. When it then spun out and hit a brick wall in 2017, Griff hopped out of the wreck, tossed the keys to Koby, and said "here, your turn to drive."
The team and assets Griff handed Koby in the summer of 2017 wasn't capable of retooling to beat GSW. If he'd thought it was, Griff might have hung around and done it himself.
