Since their arrival five years ago, Pelicans coach Monty Williams and general Manager Dell Demps have not necessarily always agreed on the best course to take to improve the roster.

''We talk all the time on what we need, it doesn't always mean we agree,''Williams said regarding his relationship with Demps. ''But that's not a bad thing. I don't think it's always about my philosophy or Dell's philosophy. I think it's a combination of the two.

''If they don't fit my style, it forces me to branch out to different ways to coach, which helps me,'' Williams said. ''Dell and I have talked about that every year - how can we get guys who have high acumen on both ends of the floor. That's not me, that's our organization. You are not always going to get those guys. It's just part of the deal. When you have the people that you have, you work with them and try to get the most out of them.''
