I think he should get a pass for Josh Smith. It was pretty much the only play he had other than quitting, and who among us would quit a job that pays 7 figures?

Still, when they fire Demps they are back to where they were 4 years ago, needing a GM that they have reason to believe will like and be on the same page with the coach they already have under contract. Maybe Loomis had Joe in the loop on the Gentry decision, nobody eyeing the GM chair would want to fight with JVG or Thibs for power, so I bet Joe gave a big thumbs up on Gentry if he was asked.

Maybe the time off gave Dumars time to reflect on what went wrong? Maybe he's recharged? Maybe he's done his homework? Idk if he's the right guy for the job? I'm pretty sure Dell isn't.

Dumars was a player under Gentry as an assistant for multiple years. He either fired Gentry from Detroit or came on board shortly after. No idea if there is bad blood or not.

Eh. I'm more inclined to give him one for Gordon and Villanueva. Like Gyno said, they were young guys coming off career years. Smith, with Monroe and Drummond already on board, was just bad.
