re: Pelicans receive permission to speak with Alvin Gentry

Not at all. Said many times he isn't a great hire. I like him the best of all the names we've heard, but that says more about the names than Gentry. That said, I'd be happy with any of the guys we've heard too.
My end game is to get better discussion on this board. The whole idea that I'm on team whatever is asinine. No one here knows what they will do. No one anywhere knows who will end up being a good hire or bad hire.
I want the team to explore all the options they have and find the guy that fits best right now, regardless of experience, age, demeanor, record, etc. I would hope we could look at the coaches the same way here. Doesn't mean you have to like every candidate, but "He coached the Clippers a decade ago. His career record is terrible because he coached the Clippers a decade ago. He is a terrible coach" isn't exactly cogent analysis.

Then why the need to stifle the opinion that Gentry is a mediocre candidate?

That's true, like nobody knows if Monty would have lead this team to multiple titles.

I'm sure Gentry would improve the team in the short term, but I'm not sure he will ever help you win a championship, which has to be the goal with a transcendent talent on the team for the next several seasons. In my opinion, our goals cannot extend past AD's next contract ends. This has to be THE guy.

The Clippers are only one team that he coached. He also coached Phoenix and Detroit. We could make excuses for his poor results at each spot, but the more excuses you make, the further you get from my ideal candidate.
