The New Orleans Pelicans have elected to move on from general manager Dell Demps after eight plus seasons of running the front office and boasting a disappointing 311-388 record.
Demps has been on borrowed time dating back to the 2016-17 offseason. After pulling off the stunning trade deadline acquisition for DeMarcus Cousins, he won himself and the Pelicans the promise of a bright future. Positioned next to Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday, the Pelicans were attempting to build a core unlike any other in the NBA.
The timing couldn’t have come at a better time.
