It's because there are only 15-20 actual difference-makers on the entire planet and that number might be optimistic. And they identified that, despite winning RotY, Michael Carter Williams was not one of those 15-20 players. And in order to win a title, you need 2-3 of them on your team. The football equivalent would be needing 2-3 franchise QBs to win a title. Teams like your Hornets and my Pacers exist to give teams like the Bucks, Nuggets, Warriors, and Celtics someone to play all winter. And you've got LeMelo Ball and we've got Tyreese Haliburton. Both fantastic players, but you're team is not winning anything if those are your best players.
