Cool. What are the Powerball numbers?

I've been a Dell supporter for a long time, but its time to pull the plug. He has had 6 years and has failed.

What, in your opinion, is grounds to fire an NBA GM. When would it be appropriate for the Pelicans to do it? Never? 6 years not enough time? How about 10? 15?

I'll take JVG or Thibs instead, but that's something there's a real obstacle to, Gentry has 2 guaranteed years left on his deal. Can you tell me how long Demps extension was and whether the extension is a team option, basically giving him another year of the same set up he had before? Because until someone can actually answer that we don't know the cost of cutting ties with Demps.

Can you tell me how bad renewals are going? It sounds like not well. Will drafting 9th excite the fans enough to come back?

I do agree that the guy that bet on Demps probably isn't ready to admit a mistake so soon, and if they get lucky enough to win the lottery, Simmons or Ingram might excite the fans enough to get ticket sales going again. So until the lottery occurs we don't know how much external pressure there will be for change. But I just don't see why people think the internal pressure to keep Demps will be stronger than the external pressure to change something if we stay on this path and end up picking 7-9.
