Yeah, it kinda can.
Demps hasn't been great but he also hasn't completely crippled our franchise like Dumars did with his signing of Josh Smith, Charlie V and Ben Gordon. Not to mention the Darko Milicic drafting.

Every team in the league would've drafted darko at 2 that year. He also drafted tayshaun, Monroe and Drummond, amongst others
He didn't see the writing on the wall with those FAs late in his tenure, but those guys were coming off career years and were hot commodities
He also dealt for Rip, signed Chauncey, brought in Sheed, Ben Wallace etc
More recently bias with dumars. Only the elite can build a title team and maintain it for years. Dude was a gm for a long time and built winners. Played for a long time and was a winner. He can identify personnel and knows the recipe for a winning team
You can certainly knock some moves just like every single GM in the league. The guy's body of work as a whole needs to be judged. Going after Billups and Ben Wallace alone when no one else wanted them is pretty remarkable in and of itself

The signing of Charlie V and Ben Gordon for a combined 10 years, 96 million in the same summer was a textbook example of how to not run a franchise.
