@ESPNSteinLine: Story going online now: ESPN sources say New Orleans has received permission to interview Golden State's Alvin Gentry for coaching vacancy
Cool... I'm onboard with Gentry and Hoiberg. Wouldnt' mind Thibs but I was hoping for Gentry or Hoiberg.
I do not want Gentry. He is a bit older and has never really done anything as a HC.

He's got experience. I'd love to add him to our staff. But I doubt he'd go from being on assistant head coach to be another team's.
Well it is a coach that Benson won't have to fork out a lot of money.
Yeah, he is at the bottom of my want list (maybe pegged between Brooks and Jackson). Color me unimpressed with him and his long history.Originally Posted by PELICANSFAN
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
If money were the main issue, he'd have just stuck with Monty Williams. They want to upgrade. More than likely, they don't see Thibodeau as a sizeable upgrade from others on the market.
Is this a joke, I can't tell sarcasm on the internet.
wouldnt mind gentry. He is a damn good coach who got a raw deal in Phoenix. I really want Hoiberg or Atkinson more, but Gentry is third on my list of wants. WOuld be a huge upgrade over Monty regardless.
I'm a grinder
I'm ok with Gentry. I think he has been around long enough to know the importance of good assistants.
No he is definitely not joking. Wasted an hour last night arguing with him that Benson is cheap. I would love to now one time Benson has been cheap in the past decade. Guy has donated millions to Tulane for a new stadium. One of the highest paid coaches in sports with Payton along with expensive d coordinators and staff in the upper management offices. All the sudden he is going to be cheap though for the most important hire in Pelicans history that in return will be our best chance at keeping Davis who without we are a bottom feeder in this league giving away season tickets. No facts to back it up just pure speculation and taking Gerry Vs words like he is speaking for the owner.
Party like it is 2003-2004?
Looks like they were in the playoffs...Party like it is 2003-2004?
Well, EG10 should love Gentry, considering Gentry offered him a FA max deal that Demps matched !
Good asst coach. Would not want him as a HC.
Based on what?
Gentry was tabbed as the "perfect fit" for the Thunder by no less an NBA authority as the great Bill Simmons and the legendary Zachary Lowe. If he's good enough for OKC in their eyes than he'd be good enough for our beloved Pellies. Plus his style of play would be much more fun to watch (and fun for the guys on the team) than Thibs'

Based on "he was going to sign Gordon to a max deal" until we were just a tad dumber than him !
I would think that Gentry might mean no Asik long-term. Doesn't he prefer an up tempo pace? That's my main reason for not wanting Thibs is that his style of bball is kinda boring and he'd probably want to keep Asik around longer term.
If Gentry comes in, we should go after B. Lopez or Monroe ! If Lopez stays healthy, he & AD would be wicked running the floor !

Well, there's his record as a HC for one.
He's got a .475 winning percentage and made the playoffs twice. He was a HC for a decade.
I can sho nuff live with that.
That's extremely misleading to phrase it that way. No run over 2.5 years, he's also taken over for other guys, and had some pretty subpar talent on his teams. He's done some really good things with the Clippers and Warrior in recent years.

When you apply to college you want to make sure you apply by the recommended deadlines, even if the school is only your "safe" school. Ya' mean?
