Fire Dell Demps 2017-2018 Offseason/Season Long Thread

Dell Demps, somehow, is still the GM and main decision maker for our NBA team, despite going into his 8th season as GM and only making the playoffs once, and getting swept.
Despite making a great deal to get Boogie, our team is now so salary strapped that we cannot make any moves in Free Agency, even relatively minor ones, because we run the risk of getting hard capped. We are in a dire cap situation this year. Our only hope is to trade a our bum contracts like Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, or QPon. Contracts no team will likely take on. Who gave Asik and Ajinca those contracts? Dell Demps.
Let's recap some Dell Demps moves:
Traded 1st round pick (Tobias Harris) for Jerryd Bayless
Drafted Austin Rivers 10th overall
Tyreke Evans, 4/44 contract, had to trade Robin Lopez and Greivis Vasquez to make it work
2 First Round picks for Jrue Holiday
1st Round Pick for Omer Asik
Hired Alvin Gentry as Head Coach
Gives Omer Asik 5year, 58 million dollar contract (43 mill guaranteed)
Gives Alexis Ajinca 4 years, 20 million
Gives Solomon Hill4 years, 48 million
(To be fair, he has made very good moves as well)
And here we are. No ability to add anything of significance to a team with 3 good players but a lot of dogshit after that.
Our only chance is to somehow pull off a trade that gives out junk contracts and gets us back some semblance of an NBA player. That is the corner he has painted us in to.
And he is still the GM.
Fire away.

You promised to keep the other one on the first page. That didn't work out so well.

Despite all of the mistakes he's made over the years, the only way I see him getting fired is if Cousins walks or Cousins demands it as part of re-signing. His job is in Boogie's hands.

Meh. I was mad about this for a while but I forgive him for this now. Not many selected after Rivers did very much, its the few that went before him that kills me.

I gave up my tickets because Dell has made stub hub a much better deal.

I'll never understand the asik extension

There are bigger fish to fry.
Fire Loomis, hire David Griffin as President and let him decide Demps' fate. It's time we got a real POBO. It reflects poorly on the franchise when the president pubicly states that his role with the pelicans is "overblown" and that he doesn't "have a lot to do with that."

Dell still has some arrows left in that quiver: 2018 and 2019 first round draft picks, ready and willing to be traded.

Imagine if AD was cool with playing C full time.
Posted on 7/10/17 at 6:30 pm to Fun Bunch
Just think how terrible the Pelicans would be with dell at the helm if he hadn't lucked into getting AD.
The team would have been built around Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
Still holding out hope for a trade none of us expect. He should get canned anyway; but if they doesn't happen, he 100% needs to gtfo

Controversial take: I like Dell. He's done a bang up job.

You're my boy FB but all this thread does is rehash the same shite over and over
