I wouldn’t mind Sacramento as a trade partner. It would have to start with Marvin Bagley III who is the real deal and would be a great get in a trade for AD. Barnes would be a solid piece but a lot of draft picks would have to be involved as well. Not my favorite trade partner but wouldn’t be a bad option at all. What else was he wanting outside of Barnes?
David Griffin had added all of the Pels players to his Twitter acct as of today. That's cool.
It's kind of ridiculous to pretend that Demps didn't try the ''young vet'' strategy. I don't even blame him: it's better to have a strategy than to not have one. It just ended up being the wrong choice.
Demps traded for and signed 'young vets' all throughout his tenure. Asik, like you say. Cousins, also. Solo was 25 his first season with us, big money signing there. Niko was 26 when we traded for him, again, young vet type. Ian Clark, again, 26, coming off runs with Golden State, had also been with Denver and Utah. Dante Cunningham was 27 when we got him at first, had played in over 350 games by then. These people are the definition of ''young vets'', that is, players who are pretty young but who have have multiple years in the league, preferably made playoff trips (Asik, Clark, Niko, Cunningham), and are looking to step up and be real contributors at this point.
Now, almost all of those signings went badly in one way or another, and it didn't help us win at all. But it was his plan, CLEARLY, to adopt young vets and try to run with that.
Perk even approves.

Please let this finally be the beginning of a true turnaround for the franchise.

Hypothetical: We are going to hire Langdon. That won't be announced until after Brooklyn is out of the playoffs right?
The Davis media Darlings are ignoring our hire today. Looks like we got a good one.
Minnesota owner Glen Taylor has targeted a short list of potential candidates to oversee the Timberwolves operations --- with Winger emerging among them, league sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/TE5wWFvRLK

Winger could be off radar soon.
Pelicans will introduce new EVP of Basketball Operations David Griffin at a news conference on Wednesday.

I give more credit to Doc Rivers for the success of that roster than I do the GM. Rivers really earned a lot of respect this season.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.

Clippers assistant GM getting promoted to our GM? Have to like it if he was behind building the Clippers squad. Bunch of outcasts playing good basketball together. Doing what Demps was supposed to do but with less.
