While true, this is an exaggeration of sorts. Austin Rivers was worthless to us by the time we traded him, but it took the #10 pick to get him. Same thing can be said of Juju for Belinelli. Jason Smith took a late 1st (Brackens), so did Vasquez (Pondexter). Lopez took cap space that was available because we dumped Jack (the proceeds from trading our 1st for Bayless). I'm not saying he couldn't, just that we're running out of the "trash", which typically starts out as a C level asset, that he can turn into treasure.
He turned Salmons into Cole. You can get trash (expiring contracts) if you want it to turn into a decent piece. Also, picked up DC off the scrap heap. Took flyers on Ayon, Ajinca, and Babbitt and did okay. Got Morrow on an expiring contract. That's pretty darn good.
You look at that top 7, and if healthy, how many minutes do you need? Maybe 10-20. Now, of course you need depth, but Dell eventually finds that.

He turned the Room Level Exception into Cole.
Of the other guys you listed, Cunningham is the only one that had an immediate impact and he had highly unusual circumstances. Everyone else that he got for a minimum deal, true trash, took at least half a season and an offseason of assimilation to become useful pieces. I'm a Demps fan, I just don't think he can turn minimum contracts into immediate rotation players. All the minimum guys have taken time to work their way into the rotation. Now maybe Gentry will be quicker to trust guys than Monty was, I just think if you go this route, you better be ok with being 7 deep this season.

EG + Asik > Jordan
Asik isn't great, but he's solid. EG is an excellent shooter that surely costs too much, but he's the best pure shooter on this team.
Jordan: 34.4 MPG, 11.5/15.0/0.7; 2.2 bpg, 1.0 spg, 1.3 tov
Asik: 26.1 MPG, 7.3/9.8/0.9; 0.7 bpg, 0.4 spg, 1.3 tov
PER36:
Jordan: 12.1/15.7/0.8
Asik: 10.1/13.6/1.3
