re: Even if you don't agree with the trade, have faith in Demps...

I love the trade, but some don't. We get a proven PG instead of a potentially good player in a few years (same can be said about the potential of the pick in next year's draft).
I don't hate the trade, but I don't know if it makes total sense. I like Holiday, but I think we could have signed comparable PGs (Ellis, Jennings or maybe Teague) for about the same or less money. Plus still draft an impact player (McLemore) and keep future picks. Now we have less cap room to try to fill a major hole (SF or C). I don't think it's bad, it's just a way I don't agree with.

In Demps I trust
Good for you. I don't drink the kool aid for any FO guy. Demps has and will make mistakes. I don't judge him too harshly. But I don't believe blindly and this board was made for us to discuss these type of moves. If we don't break them down, then what's the point of coming on here.

None of those guys are even close to Jrue's level. Jennings probably wants more than him as well.

Our only real major hole is SF. Lopez is serviceable at C. shite, if the Thunder can make it to the Finals with Kendrick Perkins as their C then I think Lopez will be fine. Picks are always unknown so I don't mind trading them for proven top 10 talent at a position. We still have enough money to get a decent SF and can even get a guy like Iguodala simply by flipping Vasquez and temporarily releasing Smith.

Ellis isn't a point guard. MIL has already said they will match any offer for Jennings. Jeff Teague? lol.
