Ownership’s plan with a new GM will be continuing to push back on Anthony Davis preferred trade destinations if they don’t make sense for Pels — especially with a full year left on his contract, per sources.

I still think he doesn't deserve to be a joke considering the team he put together last year. That was some nice maneuvering- just bad luck that Boogie and Rondo bailed.

Demps made some bad moves but ultimately was snake bitten by injuries and handcuffed by the organization.

We never got a full season of health from his Jrue/EG/Reke/Ryno/AD core, then when he got Boogie and Rondo Boogie went down, and if he didnt the entire scope of the franchise might be different right now.

Biggest mistakes

Hill contract
Tyreke trade when he already had EG and Jrue
Ajinca/Asik contracts.

The moment that AD wanted out, Demps was fired. That doesn't stop the New Orleans front office from big dicking the Lakers. Everyone knew that Demps wasn't the one calling the shots though.

Mrs b stepping up to the plate. Demps should’ve never been around to negotiate the potential Davis deal anyways.

He's also traded away picks that have prevented us from acquiring any form of depth through the draft. I am so glad he is gone.
