Although each signing made this summer looks reasonably well-backed up with excellent research, the front office should have thought twice, three times, and four times about where the money they had was spent. They cashed in every penny of the mid-level exception and even took advantage of the veteran minimum vacancy, which Ben Simmons previously occupied.
If chemistry issues occur, where players within the locker room surprisingly do not get along with one another, a plan must be implemented by head coach Tyronn Lue. This could be as simple as a pep talk to get players back on track, or as complicated as taking matters to the front office and leaving the decision-making up to Lawrence Frank.
