Said the team told him the Dumars rumors weren't true.

What if the Pels having been using Dumars - a non-employee- to gauge the interest of possible candidates behind the scenes?

I think that would still be tampering if he's referring to people like Thibs. .

Fletcher asking a long question. Demps doesn't know how to answer.

We haven't begun search yet. Will find best available candidate.

Happened very quickly.



This does not sound promising. Hopefully they are just playing coy to avoid tampering charges with Thibs.

They are playing coy. Every GM ever has said the same thing.

This whole thing feels like the have an unofficial agreement with Thibs IMO.

You go several layers deep though. Loomis asks Dumars, Dumars asks his buddy Woj, Woj asks Thibs some "hypothetical" questions for an article and you're in the clear.

Only interesting things to come from the presser, imo:

Demps is a puppet at this point. Loomis should have done this presser. Demps seemed just as surprised about the firing as Monty was.

Management told Demps the Dumars rumors aren't true.

New coach will decide what to do with the assistants.

Dell called AD after the firing.

I seriously doubt that. But I'm sure they have made backchannels where interest was expressed.

Monty said the firing came out of nowhere. Demps has basically said the same.

They should just put Dell out of his misery. This painful, I feel bad for the guy right now.



Or Demps won the power struggle and is playing coy so it doesn't look like the blood's on his hands.

That sounds very dangerous given the previous shite their relationship has caused for both of them.

Yeah, Demps is normally very smiley at pressers. Not that this was a positive occasion, but he looked like if he had hair it'd be a few shades grayer than it was 8 months ago.

You're right. I didn't word that right. Not an unofficial agreement, but definitely confirmed interest.

Just the timing of the whole thing is the only reason I say it feels like that.

That was a tongue in cheek hypothetical, no way do you want a reporter as a go between unless you have some leverage against them.

Could be

But at one point he said something like, "this all happened really quickly", which was basically what Monty also said.

Doesn't seem like something the gm would say, if he was in control. He also said he hasn't even talked to Monty, Mickey did.
