Bring this board's favorite to New Orleans, Benson.

For those that don't know, he is the Assistant GM of GSW and has been highly thought of for years, even before GSW became an unstoppable force.

Fire Demps
Hire Schlenk
?????
Profit

Yes, I know. Benson and Co will hire someone "they know", I'll bet. I can't imagine them having this kind of vision.

But let me dream.

At this point I'd take Jeff Bower back as the GM and Head Coach.

He is awesome. I really hope we can get him to come here.

Travis Schlenk

Good little article about him from 13 before GSW blew up.

quote:

“He’s always married technology with the craft, a mixture of art and science,” said Mitch Germann, a former executive with the Sacramento Kings who met Schlenk at Wichita State. “Travis represents that new breed of NBA executive in basketball operations, using big data to make decisions.”

quote:

“Every guy we draft or bring in, we give a personality test,” Schlenk said. “When a team gets along and there’s camaraderie, you see it on the floor.”

quote:

“We lean on him heavily as to what he thinks of a player, how much the player will improve,” Myers said. “Usually, he’s the one on the staff that’s seen the player the most.”

If they aren't firing Gentry he makes a lot of sense.

They aren't firing Gentry. No way Benson is paying another coach for a few years. He will be here for another year at least.

Bring in Schlenk, let him completely remake the FO and roster.

They won't fire Gentry after one season. They should. But they won't.
