Each week his stock seems to be dropping amongst Pelicans faithful. I have a source from the inside who gave me a good idea of what the Bensons think, but I can't discuss that here.

Anyway, I am going with a 30% chance Monty finishes.

Would be shocked if he was fired. You guys are waaaaay to reactionary per game. It's the NBA, not college football. Teams are going to have their good and bad nights, ESPECIALLY a team with as many new parts as this one.

If true, this news gives me some tentative excitement. IF we have any sort of an upgrade lined up, I would be ecstatic.

Those are huge if's. I still think that the FO will give Monty too much leeway = 60% chance he finishes the season as our coach.

That being said, come home, George.

60%. I can see him getting canned after the
All-Star break depending on our record.

My theory on him being threatened\warned after the Spurs game. Spurs game, first qtr, go on an 9 or 11 point run on big momentum play one after the other. Monty let them play through it.

GS game, first qtr, they hit one big three and get a lay up and Monty calls the first timeout.

I may be reaching here but anyone would have called the first time out earlier vs the spurs, he didnt but was real quick to call it last night.

The only way he gets fired earlier is if another coach gets fired and that team starts going after a coach the FO wants.

And I don't think they hire Karl if Monty does get canned.

If the Pels are around .500 the whole year Monty will not be fired mid-season

i think if they're struggling around the all star break still it's 50-50

99%. They won't throw in the towel early enough to tank which means they need to win as many games this season as possible to keep the pick out of the top 10 and save Demps' job too. Monty would probably have to lose the team so much that they think Hanners/Ayers will do better. If any change happens it will most likely be after the season.

100% He won't be fired mid-season. Not like he's on pace to go .300 or something.
