I've played more minutes in the NBA than Cook. Are you serious? Lol. This front office has signed a team full of D-leaguers. NBA teams are making moves to aquire Butler, George and other big name players. Demps got us pick 52. Sorry if I'm not jumping for joy.

Is this true? Who'd you play for?

Nobody is saying you should be jumping for joy, but anyone gnashing their teeth over this is overrating Tim Frazier and underestimating the supply of backup PGs in the league.

This is just so wrong, where to begin.
For one, Jimmy Butler and PG are both perennial all-stars but because of there differing contracts both of there respective franchises will go about differently negotiating/putting feelers out for them. Indiana has very little to no leverage. There are very few teams in reality one that will give away the "farm" for PG as he is a rental, every team gave them a call because he actually said trade me and no matter what happens this year (he makes all-nba or not) im not coming back.
Every team would take 30 seconds to call and say hey we have young players and maybe a pick or two, to which all Larry can say is Atlanta already offered me 4 first rounders, and the C's/Lakers can all offer me 3+.
Nobody is jumping for joy that we got the 52nd pick believe me, and nobody is upset we "gave" away Tim Frazier. Fact is having a second pick in this draft is very beneficial. Its a deep draft and the strategy to draft an NBA ready big, combo guard or point late in the draft will be there. Knowing Dell and coming from the Spurs the 52 could be a draft and stash, or again a project knowing we are about to get our own G-League team and groom that guy in close proximity. For all of Dell Demps faults this was the right decision and honestly a very easy one.
