I think we are unfair on Gentry.. His never had a good team besides those two years with the suns, both he made the playoffs.
Remember amare was only there for two of the four years he coached phx.
His clippers and detroit team were both rebuilding at the time, and his a perfect example to prove that.
Mike dunleavy the coach of portland in the early 2000's had a .700 record in three seasons, then he accepted the clippers job off gentry, and actually did worse than gentry did.
I think we need to give gentry a chance here, and he could of learnt a lot of defensive and offensive schemes and strategies from his warriors days that he could implement here.
I believe he could be very valuable, and hiring mike malone as a assistant could be the icing on the cake
