Gentry: “I really do feel like we’ve got a good basketball team.” Expects a “totally different result” next year.

Gentry: Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday “are going to be the core of our team."

Gentry says if he has a regret, it’s that he didn’t stress pace enough to establish it early, regardless of who was hurt.

Gentry: Priorities include P&R defense, stopping dribble penetration, adding “6-7 athletic guy” who can be a facilitator.

Gentry wants Anthony Davis to have a stronger base for his post-up game. Thinks AD can get 3-point percentage into high 30s.

Gentry says he and Dell Demps are on the same page in terms of improving the team and he’s “very happy” with people he works with.

That said, Gentry says it’s not in his job description to predict whether there will be front-office changes.

Gentry on where #Pelicans are from big goals: "I don't know if you can say we're really close, or really far away" due to rampant injuries

Gentry grading #Pelicans: "If you were a college student, this would be an incomplete... we weren't able to put team we wanted on the floor"

Although Anthony Davis played more center than ever in '15-16, Gentry wants AD to stay a power forward. Keeps him away from some physical Cs

I'm fine with AD shooting threes every now and then. His post game needs work. Any word on how long his knee rehab will take?

If we draft Poeltl I'm done being a Pels fan.

This is the most interesting thing to me. MM has brought up Grant Hill before and that sounds like what Gentry is looking for. Can Evan Turner be that kind of player? He was a PG in college. He still can't shoot but he is that size and can facilitate. If you have Evan Turner that means you shouldn't have Tyreke though right? It probably also makes Hield/Murray more desirable fits from the draft.

Can we get back on track here and talk about Gentry?

He obviously will be back next season. Does he make it through the entire season? Do we have the players or medical staff to run up and down the floor? Why in the hell is he making AD our 3 point specialist?! I'm all for him adding to his game, but it's taking away from what he is really great at.
