Oleh Kosel: Extend him. The Pelicans went through a 3 year rebuild, and they just recently emerged out of that long tunnel. Demps is entirely responsible for the current roster; thus, credit needs to be given for the team maintaining a continuous upward trajectory. Going any other route (outside of an extension) would send the wrong message, and the last thing Benson can afford is for Anthony Davis to have to possibly suffer through a Denver Nugget-like collapse whereby changes at GM and head coach throw New Orleans future into a tailspin.
David Fisher: Pick up the team option.
