He turned the Room Level Exception into Cole.
Of the other guys you listed, Cunningham is the only one that had an immediate impact and he had highly unusual circumstances. Everyone else that he got for a minimum deal, true trash, took at least half a season and an offseason of assimilation to become useful pieces. I'm a Demps fan, I just don't think he can turn minimum contracts into immediate rotation players. All the minimum guys have taken time to work their way into the rotation. Now maybe Gentry will be quicker to trust guys than Monty was, I just think if you go this route, you better be ok with being 7 deep this season.

Right. And he would have the Room Exception again. He would also have minimum contracts (Morrow, Ajinca, Babbitt). And like you said, Cunningham. Those are 5 guys that can play in the NBA that Dell got for nothing in the past 2 years. An average of 2.5 per year. I will round down and take 2. Would be a nice 9 man rotation.
I trust him to get depth. Not specifically talking about Jordan, but my point is that I would sacrifice depth for a stud because I think Dell can manufacture depth. I don't think he can manufacture a star.
