re: Pelicans receive permission to speak with Alvin Gentry

I think it's less likely we wait out the Thibs sweepstakes. I suspect we'll request permission to talk to Atkinson next. Meet with Malone. Maybe talk with Hoiberg. Perhaps D'Antoni. Don't see JVG leaving the booth.

I think it likely comes down to Gentry, Atkinson, and Malone. We'll see.
