Thibs was the coach of the same players


Well we saw it this summer. Granted competition wasn't NBA level, but Davis played with mostly average defenders. They were by far the best defense in the tournament and an USAB anomaly in that their defense, not their offense, won games.

I think you could convincingly argue the Pels have better defensive talent with Davis, Asik, and Holiday than any trio on the World Championship team.

veteran players,


Pelicans have 5, 6, 7 year vets in their core. How much older do they need to be?

This sort of double talk about the rebuild just kills me.

It's not double talk. Who outside of Holiday and Asik would you classify as a savvy defender?Would Thibs do better than Monty, no doubt in my mind. Is the group good enough to replicate the success level he's had in Chicago, I'm not as sure.
