If they say, "Bring Jrue back!"
And you don't, you go get Rubio instead, or Rondo and Miles, whatever... and the team wins. Meanwhile, Jrue is playing like hot trash elsewhere, you think they will bolt because you didn't do the obviously wrong thing that they wanted?
You are the GM. You do what you think is best for the team. If you are right, players will follow. Or, you listen to Deron Williams and sink the franchise for the next 10 years.

exactly how i feel about it.
Players play, coaches coach, GM's manage a roster. When all three are synced up with the same goals for the team, you get a winning team.
Instead we have players knighting to pay a guy a retarded contract, a coach who's a proven loser, and a GM that can't even help the proven loser he hired b/c he surrounds the coach with players that dont' fit what the coach wants to do, and thus we have a team that doesn't play near to what their talent suggests they should.

lots of ifs and buts there. what if you get the new guys and they play like trash too? what if you never trade for Cousins because Davis+Holiday small ball was winning around a .500 clip? what if Holiday starts hitting at his career %s? what if....
im not excusing Demps from making bad decisions at all. it's just easy to say now "go get player x instead of Holiday b/c he is playing like arse" and, yes, we are all aware you wouldn't have signed him back in march.
for Demps- if he and his staff honestly thought bringing Holiday back, at that price, was the best move, that's their call to make. if they didnt think so, it is their responsibility to come up with an alternative plan, make it happen, and sell everyone on why it is better.

again, easy to say in a vacuum. the entire Pels organization is a shitshow. most people arent going to have the courage of their convictions if they dont think they have support of their bosses to make tough calls
