Biggest Mistake by Demps

You offer Boogie the max and keep his arse here. That gives you an excuse if you lose and would ensure AD would’ve stayed. Demps is an idiot. Boogie can carry the team. Outside AD, we don’t have anyone like that. Team’s a fricking mess.

Not even on Demps top 3 mistakes

You misspelled "Solomon Hill".

Demps biggest mistake was not being able to keep his players healthy.
Then the Solomon Hill contract.

Demps’ Biggest mistake was going into win now mode when AD was 19

Tyreke was his biggest mistake with all of the collateral damage it caused. Not doing a S&T of Gordon was mistake #2. I'd like to call that a grade in hindsight but there was a pretty significant portion of the fan base that was worried about his injury proneness.

Agreed with both
The Tyreke move set off a chain reaction that affected us for 5+ years.
- Loss of Robin Lopez
- Trading a 1st for Asik
- Long contract for Asik that was near-crippling
- Attaching a 1st with Asik to get another player
The refusal to S&T EG Knee could have put us in a better situation for sure but who knows what we would have gotten back. A 1st?

It wouldn't have been a big return. IIRC you'd have probably been looking at something along the lines of Jared Dudley or Gortat and a 1st. But imagine this team with prime Dudley and a 1st instead of always injured Eric Gordon.

I trademarked that take. You owe me royalties :)

Ok. Maybe not the biggest mistake, but this will be the mistake that forces AD out and we’ll go back to a bottom dweller.

Cousins plays one game and fouls out in less than 15 minutes and suddenly it was wrong not to cripple our cap position to bring his oft disgruntled arse back....
Posted on 1/19/19 at 2:21 pm to BigPerm30
Biggest mistake =Gentry
Posted on 1/19/19 at 2:37 pm to dj30
Gentry was an awful hire. Why they thought a .500 coach would be anything other than that is mind bogging

Agree, ‘Reke and Gordon are at the top.
Asik and re-signing Asik.

Cousins played pretty well for his game back, but yeah a max deal would have been foolish.
Now the relationship might sour, but if he looks good, do we offer him a big deal this offseason? I’d call his agent.
I’ll always have love for Boogie. Dude played his arse off here and bad luck ruined a WCF appearance (with seeding).
Part of the reason I find the NBA so compelling. Lots of what ifs, near misses, etc.

You and Ryan were definitely driving, but y'all had a lot of people on the bandwagon.

Maybe so, I just never heard from them. The only thing I remember people disagreeing with me more on was my take that I thought Trey Burke would be a bust. Maybe 2 people agreed. People really came at me for that one
Posted on 1/20/19 at 2:28 am to Crewz
I didn't think he would bust ( thought he'd be a borderline starter) but I did think it was crazy that people were hoping he'd become the next cp3.

You saw Boogie throw down a dunk and hit a couple of open threes and thought “we should have given this guy 5 year max money”? He’s going to be lucky to find a 100m+ contract even if he comes back at say 80-90% of what he was, and you want to double that? Talk about crippling the franchise. That contract would be unmovable.
That’s not even a mistake in my book in any world after he tore his ACL, much less on par with screwing himself into a corner by investing 30m of our cap space in Asia/Ajinca/Hill.

the holiday trade was a good move though I question whether the price paid was really necessary. Be that as it may it was a huge positive
after that the refusal to let the market come to him is the core failure. Time and time again team building by being patient and collecting players as they are available without borrowing against the future and THEN taking a swing as shown to be the most likely to work. Evans is a good example and there are many others.
just one decent draft could have changed the outlook dramatically.
in demps’ defense it practically impossible to build a winner around a superstar who is not a balls out a-hole alpha, which Davis is not. In hindsight the goal should have been to acquire for the long term an alpha perimeter player to pair with him
