re: Fire Dell Demps 2017-2018 Offseason/Season Long Thread

Considering that, we probably would have kept our draft picks for the years after that and drafted fairly high. The 2013 draft was shite but we may have lucked out a top 3 pick in 2014.

It really showed this summer when there was silence about the future of Gentry and Dell. This has to be one of the biggest problems. Benson and Loomis are only figure heads over Dell and Uncle Al. We need someone fully invested in the Pelicans

Danny Ferry should become the GM

Exactly, this is a problem that will continue to occur GM after GM, coach after coach. We have to fix the dysfunction at the highest level possible. Something tells me Loomis won't care too much about not being the President (unless it leads to a significant reduction in pay).
However, Loomis won't get relieved of his duties with the Pelicans, unless any combination of the following occur:
- The pelicans have perform awfully for four seasons (which even then there's no guarantee as he could pass blame off to the GM and coach since he has no involvement)
- The saints perform poorly to such a degree that Loomis is fired from his Saints position.
-His retirement
- new ownership
- if there is an extensive amount of public outcry from the national and local media which will apply pressure on the franchise. However, seeing we get no national coverage and sadly little local coverage, I don't see it happening.

Controversial take: I like Dell. He's done a bang up job.

other than being a troll, I want to know your opinion on what he has done well.

I think it's trolling to paint Dell as the worst GM in the league. Dell has made moves- both good and bad- but not every GM nails every move, except those frickers in Golden State and San Antonio. Even Daryl Morey has had his frickups.

he's not the worst, but he's not average.

He put together a team that was an easy playoff team. Not his fault all those frickers got injured at one time.

I wish we had traded our whole roster to Portland for the sixth pick.

Is anyone saying that?
We're saying this guy shouldn't have been our GM for 8 seasons with such little results.
Dell is good at filling the end of bench but he's awful at big picture and roster construction. He's just not that good a GM and we could do better.

I'll say that Demps is the worst GM in basketball. He has had a "top 5" player and missed the playoffs 4 out of 5 seasons. No other GM, with a top 10 player, can make that claim..

Eh, that's a bit aggressive. He has done some things that are pretty good.
His strategy has just been bad. The results speak for themselves.

What I think of Dell Demps is that the job of GM is above his ability. He's in over his head. He doesn't seem to really have a plan or philosophy or a strategy. He doesn't seem to really understand how to balance building a team on the floor while also keeping options available to set up moves in the future.
He just doesn't understand how to play the game effectively. The best GM's are playing chess and he seems to be winging it.
