Dude. I get it. Really I do.

Plenty of teams have GM/team president in one person. Nothing inherently better about separate roles. It's about who you're giving the keys to. It's about ownership being invested in the team and setting a standard of excellence.

In this case, they have failed to do those things. Letting Demps stick around with that much power is an indictment of ownership. Giving Loomis that title and then having him state he doesn't do anything is dumb. Giving Loomis that title while he's full time with the Saints is dumb.

Even if you want to be charitable to the Bensons/Loomis, they have certainly created a perception across the entire NBA that they don't particularly care about the Pels. And it didn't just happen because of Davis. It's just been blown into the spotlight

If we had Michael Jordan as owner we’d be so awesome

But do you get it? Loomis is a top advisor to the Bensons on all business. Whether you put the 4 letters behind his name or not, his role does not change. You are hung up on a title that doesn't matter in the business scheme Benson set up. I do agree Demps was given too much power and trust.
