@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.
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.
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'

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.
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?
