re: Steven Adams to Pelicans in Serious Talks

This is what I think we're getting a lot of. Demps had no margin for error so we had to nitpick every last aspect of every deal. I don't think there's ever been a team as well set up for long term success as the Pels. Griff has a rock solid foundation to build on, it's not a house of cards like Demps built.

I agree with this. Think a lot of people still have ptsd from Demps and his Willy nilly giving away of firsts including me. I like Adams and he may be a decent fit on this team. I just don’t like giving decent assets away for someone that may or not be in our future plan with his salary at a position that is severely devalued now after one year.

Like I said Drummond who is better than Adams could only fetch a 2nd and they will both be fa’s next year. When u consider what we gave up, it’s a bad trade even if we could ‘afford’ the costs
