By showcasing deep contributions from role players like Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Max Christie, they demonstrate that their success isn't solely dependent on superstar presence. The team’s GM, Rob Pelinka, has been commended for constructing a roster that functions effectively without LeBron’s immediate involvement, challenging the misconception that the front office is incompetent.
