There have been a lot of mistakes, and some of this has been brought up already but for me it's essentially not having a proper vision. Building a contender is not easy especially in this market, but history clearly proves that there are some key ingredients in building one. You need a back to the basket center, a wing who can create his own shot, role players that know their role, a defensive mindset, and a team that loves to play with each other. And of course an all-star or two.
- The best center he ever got was JV which was a fluke since Cleveland passed on him.
- He never got a proper wing that could create his own shot.
- He did well with the role players but that should be the last step in building a contender, IMO.
- The defensive mindset lasted for one shortened season when they were tanking.
- With the constant losing, and Bargnani coddling I'm not sure if the team ever really liked each other. Bosh bailed as soon as he had a chance. Turk hated it here (he sucked, but still), and the team has not gotten much respect from anyone.
- The only all-star on the team was Bosh who was drafted by the previous GM and then left in free agency under his watch.
