re: Two things must happen this summer for us to be a good team

He took over a team that had won 55 games or more 4 years in a row.
First half season, they win 46, miss the playoffs,
Next season they win 54, make conference finals.
That team included HOFer Steve Nash, future HOFer Grant Hill, Jason Richardson, who's better than everyone on this team but AD/DC, Amare Staudamire, who was just about as good as AD/DC.
They rounded out their team with young Robin Lopez and Channing Frye, hustler Lou Amundson, 6th man of the year award Barbosa, Jared Dudley, and Goran Dragic.
You want to argue about him never having talent like this as a head coach?
The next year they had a losing record, with basically the same team minus Amare/Richardson/Barbosa, but added Vince Carter/Gortat/Aaron Brooks. There were no injury issues.
The next year he has a .500 team, no playoffs again, with the same team again. I guess Amare was that good.
the next year, he loses Steve Nash, and they have their worst start in the history of the franchise and fire Gentry in January.
Your turn to show me where he's been a good coach.
You realize you just illustrated the point that a roster plays a huge part of a coach's success, yes?

I guess I didn't realize amare staudamire and Jason Richardson were that much better than Vince Carter and gortat. I guess that's not gentrys fault after all for being a below .500 team with two hall of famers and a plethora of role players that are still good role players today.
Of course it plays a huge role. The guy was claiming Gentry sucked B/c he didn't have talented teams. He took over a very talented team, and they regressed until he got fired.
