But my god that move with Jack was TERRIBLE


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.

That's highly debatable

Also, the only really outstanding move he has made was the Vasquez trade

That's it

Other than that he's made ok moves (Chris Paul trade, Anderson trade) neutral moves (letting Landry leave, trading Ariza and Oak for cap space) and shitty moves (re-signing Gordon, falling in love with Rivers at the draft, trading Jack)

He's made one outstanding move so far. I just don't understand why he's so above criticism on this board after doing really nothing particularly special since he's been GM

And what is this gonna do for us and winning? That's what we have now, a lineup of marginal players , save AD and EG possibly.

Demps and Monty have to land some solid, not marginal, players or we will be discussing the same thing next season.
