Great job here - you come in and you gotta trade a top 5 player who wants to go to a few teams at most.
hope this clown enjoyed the only GM job he'll ever get
ownership will probably make sure they hire some laker hater as to keep AD away from LA. what are kevin mchale and larry bird up to?
Do you EVER stop whining about how " everybody hates the Lakers " ???
Of course the first two names to emerge are LeBron's former GM who he has a great relationship with and Danny Ainge's right hand man. That's exactly what the Davis saga needs.
Not far off from Chiarelli. Gifted a top 5 talent (although McDavid is obviously better at his sport than Davis is at ball) and proceeds to make awful trades, give out horrible contracts and make it past the first round once (Pels made the playoffs 3x, Oilers 1x albeit in a shorter time span).
He should have been fired long ago, such as when he
- Gave Omer Asik 60 million LOOOOOOOOL
- Failed to draft anyone good. Literally none of his post-Davis picks turned out to be pretty good, aside from Hield
This all on ownership. Tom Bensons, and now his widow never gave a crap about the team (hence why they made Mickey Loomis - lifelong NFL exec/football guy - the team president, as if running an NFL team isn't a full time job), he only bought the team to give back to the people of the city by preventing them from relocating and its 150% obvious Demps is only getting fired because of the Davis debacle. If the trade request was never made, he'd still have a job. or if he took the Lakers offer and put aside his ego.

Heard about this move, given everything with Davis right now that job might not be the most lucrative out there.
obviously demps had a role in all this but something tells demps would have taken the LA deal but benson/loomis overruled him. probably because the saints lost to the rams
