For those who hate the hire - Remember this is the NBA

this isn't the NFL or CFB where a manager position is almost always long-term with really long-term effects

this is the NBA. coaches routinely get fired in their first season if they fail in the NBA. even successful coaches get fired (see George Karl, Mark Jackson, Tom Thibodeau, etc). if Gentry really is as big of a failure as you all fear, then he'll be fired a year from now and we'll have another shot at hiring a new coach.

it doesn't look like anybody is knocking the door down for any realistic candidate (Tom Thibodeau is not fricking coming here) for the pellies job , so we'll likely even have a second shot at our targets again.
