I know tGOAT was in jest and a lot of people on this board don't think he is very good, but his in season moves this year have worked out nicely.

Tyreke still not worth what he's getting paid?

Dell IS tGOAT at the small moves. Adding depth, finding castoffs, etc.

Its his big picture moves that can be somewhat questionable.

Dell is a very good GM, and I hope he remains in NOLA for a very long time. I am excited to see what he does with pieces like Gordon and Tyreke now that they have some value. Does he go in on Cole, and look to move Jrue? Does he resign Asik? Does he lock up Ajinca? What about Ryno?

A roster that looked talented but underperforming with some hefty contracts has turned into a bunch of pieces that can be moved, and or players that will work out long term.

Stern saved his arse by not letting him trade Paul for a Martin, odom, and scola. We wouldn't have AD. Still not sure about Evans and holiday can't stay healthy. I know it's not popular but I'm hoping they stop winning and get him and Williams out of here

IDK if he was so great wouldn't he have known that Salmons, Russ Smith, Rivers, etc couldn't play in the league before the season started? The minutes those guys played were key in some early season losses had he addressed the glaring holes in the roster sooner where would the team be?

Obviously in jest, but his body of work has definitely been put in perspective recently on the 5 game win streak. He didn't tell Monty to not play Ajinca all year. He didn't tell Monty to ride or die with Anderson at the 5 to close games. Babbitt is shooting 50+% on the year. Our core 3 guards have barely spent any time on the court together.

As boom suggests, there is some validity to starting the season only 6 deep (including Ajinca subtracting a point for Monty who was just plain fricking awful earlier in the season). Not very much margin for error there with no true 3 on the roster. The season really started turning when they added Dante.

It would be awfully hard to convince me that Monty is the one that deserves a shot with a new GM vs. Dell deserving a shot with an actual coaching hire of his.

His in-season moves only look great b/c of the shite bench he started the season with.
