I'm not saying I'm not a fan of Demps, and sure he has made a lot of solid trades and moves

But my god that move with Jack was TERRIBLE

By far the worst move he has made since he has had the job

edit: other than re-signing Gordon

Yeah, I feel like we would have had 5+ more wins this year with Jack still on the roster. He is pretty clutch down the stretch, an area we really struggled in this season.

Then again, maybe he was traded with "tanking" in mind. I dunno

Yes and no. On the one hand the move cleared the cap space that lead to Lopez. Lopez for Jack is a solid move. On the other hand this was yet another good will gesture and I'm not sure how much that actually gets you. I'm assuming all the minutes Henry is getting right now is Monty and Demps letting him audition for his next job on another team. All the marginal players in the league that can't get good offers will be dying to be Pelicans. Not a bad thing but is it worth sacrificing trade assets and flexibility?

The flip side of the good will coin is Morey in Houston who supposedly has a bad rep with agents for things like never offering extensions. That lack of good will didn't seem to stop him from building a solid young core from the supposed NBA dead zone of the playoff bubble.
