And is Karl really interested in the job or is that just wishful thinking?

He's said enough things about how much he likes the Pelicans when he hasn't been prompted that I think he has genuine interest in the roster. Money could be an issue, because in his most recent interview where he brought up the Pelicans out of the blue he also said you couldn't pay him "a million dollars" to coach in New York. Maybe I'm reading too much into that since it's a commonly used phrase, but coaches usually get paid much more than $1 million, so for $5+ million would he put up with the circus in New York? It just seemed like that could have been a "throw lots of money at me New York" statement as much as a "don't bother calling me New York" statement.
