Understand where you come from , but three years plus ago still affects this team. Dealing Dell has made bad trades that will affect future GM. We should keep draft picks, Noels seems pretty good. Jrue is average point guard. Asik is ordinary, 6-8 points with maybe 10 boards. Will we ever get a scoring three and put Tyreke at 2? Just my 2 cents! With no real center or 3 scoring, unless Tyreke in there that's what: Asik and Pondexter, Cunningham gives you about 16-20 points. We need a 16-20 point 3 spot, then Asik wouldn't be a offensive liability

We don't need offense out of the center position. I think your underselling Jrue. yea we need to upgrade at the 3 and that can be addressed via free agency. It's not as bad as the media would lead you to believe. If this team had a competent coach most of these issues would be hidden.

True, it's just most of the laundry list of complaints you made weren't his moves.

We have in Anthony Davis what many are regarding as a top 3 player today. You close his contention window 2-3 years by building slowly through the draft and making him wait on the team. You can have issues with the players we traded for, but I think the general direction of trading picks for young veterans is the way to maximize what you have in Davis. It's not like we passed up Wiggins to accelerate the timeline, we passed up, best case scenario with perfect hindsight, Steven Adams and Elfrid Payton. That's not bad, but that team isn't making the playoffs for 2-3 more years at least. This team was supposed to make them this year and should make them next year if they get the right GM and Coach.

In hindsight, the biggest mistakes Demps has made appear to be resigning Gordon and trading away Vasquez, Lopez, and the 2015 pick for Tyreke and Asik.
