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.

The defensive stuff isn't. The lack of vets is. The impetus for Evans, Holiday, Asik was to skip the youth phase- they've had their welcome to the NBA moments already. Saying they are now too young or inexperienced to be good enough doesn't sit well with me, for all that is worth.

If the message is now "Wait a couple of years for the guys to get it" these moves look worse and worse. If you're going to wait any way, might as well do it with 2 top 10 picks and cap space.

Thibs played Boozer and DJ Augustin big minutes last year, without Deng for several months, and they were still good. I think he'd be fine in NO.

Demps did Monty no favors with the roster. But with two bigs like Asik/Davis it should be near top 10 regardless.

Obviously, still time to turn it around. But I increasingly think that only happens with a new coach.
