Demps is fantastic at getting 7th, 8th, 9th men out of thin air.
While true, this is an exaggeration of sorts. Austin Rivers was worthless to us by the time we traded him, but it took the #10 pick to get him. Same thing can be said of Juju for Belinelli. Jason Smith took a late 1st (Brackens), so did Vasquez (Pondexter). Lopez took cap space that was available because we dumped Jack (the proceeds from trading our 1st for Bayless). I'm not saying he couldn't, just that we're running out of the "trash", which typically starts out as a C level asset, that he can turn into treasure.

Again, not saying I am 100% on board with this plan, but I can make the argument.
Asik/Gordon is definitely the only option. You lose too much for sure if you can't find a taker for Gordon.

i'm curious to know what is making so many people think Deandre is a legit possibility. there is less than a 0% chance that we get him. is it just blind hope or do they really believe we have a shot?

He turned Salmons into Cole. You can get trash (expiring contracts) if you want it to turn into a decent piece. Also, picked up DC off the scrap heap. Took flyers on Ayon, Ajinca, and Babbitt and did okay. Got Morrow on an expiring contract. That's pretty darn good.
You look at that top 7, and if healthy, how many minutes do you need? Maybe 10-20. Now, of course you need depth, but Dell eventually finds that.
