Did Dell Demps tell you something about his priorities and team building methods by trying to do the Lakers trade first and then going younger after ownership forced him a different direction?
Kevin Barrios: It wasn't the right approach for sure, but with all of that uncertainty it's hard to blame Dell for trying to catch the same kind of lightning in the bottle Denver got with that 57 win season following the Carmelo trade in hopes of saving his job. While I do believe Dell defaults to a young vet model I think this was more about maintaining a winning team and the self-preservation that that would provide.
