Looking back, where could all of this been prevented?

What move would’ve righted the situation we’re in, in your opinion

Keeping Monty in favor of Demps.

Sigm and trade Gordon rather than re-signing him. That simple

not trading every 1st round pick between AD and Buddy

Tyreke Evans trade
Firing monty instead of dell
Either one.
Some would argue the Gordon one, which I agree on but I think the tyreke move actually set us back and felt the ramifications for 5 years.

Hiring an inexperienced GM with no prior experience into a volatile situation with CP3.

Retaining the original Pierre Pelican. AD could have been coerced to stay by sheer terror.

I don't think there is any one place it all went south, but a combination of continual bad choices compounded by poor luck that ultimately derailed the AD era.
I have always thought from the get that the wisest move in building around AD was patience. Don't rush, stay in the lottery for a few years and let AD develop and then start making those second and third contract moves to put the finishing touches on the roster. Jumping that gun was the original sin and the franchise was never able to adequately recover and it locked us into a constrained path.
But even in that misstep the Pels probably could of pulled it off had Demarcus not torn his achilles. Heck, we probably still have AD if Demps bites the bullet and signs Cousins anyways. As i think AD truly believes in Cousins and would of wanted to see out at least another season with him to try and make it work.

Trading for Asik was bad. Resigning him and Ajinca was 10x worse.
Keeping Dell post Monty. I supported firing monty, but dell should have been sent out as well.
DeMarcus tearing his Achilles. We were on a fricking roll and the team was really starting to understand how to play together and win. We were killing teams leading up to that injury.

I didn't like when we picked Noel then traded him.

Not trading Gordon to Suns for the Lakers 1st rd pick, their 2013 1st and Robin Lopez.
Could still make the deal for Holiday plus have an extra 2013 pick for either Greek Freek or Mccollum.
Would still make deal for Asik but instead of resigning just trade a fake 2nd to bucks for Zaza when the mavs and clips were fighting over Jordan. Zaza was on a 1 yr 5 mil deal so when Asik asks for 5 years you tell him gtfo.
Don't hire Gentry.
Don't sign Hill for 48 mil when you can just have Ennis for 2 yrs 6 mil. Same talent level so why pay so much more?
Still would have Lakers 1st for M Bridges or somebody else.

sign-and-trade gordon, don't go for Asik, leave Solo for the birds, don't hire gentry, stop giving away picks

Better management and HC. People will scream he would have left regardless because N.O. is small market but look over at the Spurs management and Pop at HC. Front office need to be cleaned out this will continue to happen even if get Zion and same people at top and HC.

Not overplaying Cousins which resulted in a achilles rupture.

Benson buying the team

Asik and Hill contracts
Posted on 1/28/19 at 4:21 pm to hg
Boogie doesnt get his injury lst year. Then we would have Boogie locked up for a max contract, and AD would stay with his bash brother.

Matching Eric Gordon
