    That's sad. His hand was forced. Embarrassing for the league what Anthony Davis and Rich Paul did.

    Demps was an awful GM. He lasted far longer than he should have

    The pelicans have surrounded as with good players

    Mirotic, okafor, Gordon, ryno, cousins, rondo, randle, holiday are just some of the names demps has surrounded Anthony Davis with. Davis was never as good as max kellerman and those losers in the media was preaching. He has never been better harden

    Why was the ownership mad at Davis leaving injured?

    Dell Demps is a legend for screwing the Lakers, but the NBA Mafia got involved and he will no longer be heard from ever again.

    I think a good amount of "fans" on here would trade him for Enes Kanter right now.

    Because he left the arena before the game is over. Usually injured players, unless on the way to the hospital, stick around until the postgame.

    Yeah, I don't understand how Davis leaving the arena is on Demps. Somehow, the coaching staff didn't know that Davis left (or worse, knew about its star player leaving the arena), and gets zero blowback from ownership. According to the article, they even commended Gentry on navigating through "a tough time."

    Yet it's Demps who gets the ultimate punishment. I don't get it.

    Billy King would be an adequate replacement for Demps.
