From this article that quotes Woj as it's source.

quote:

The New Orleans Pelicans will have a decision to make on the future of Alvin Gentry as he enters the final season of his existing deal, sources tell ESPN.

If the Pelicans do make a coaching change, sources say Ty Lue and Jason Kidd could emerge as candidates. David Griffin has a relationship with both coaches dating back years.

The Milwaukee Bucks fired Jason Kidd during the 17-18 season, while the Cleveland Cavaliers parted ways with Lue at the beginning of the 18-19 season.

Both Kidd and Lue have been head coaching candidates for several other jobs since.




I'd take it with a grain of salt, but just hoping there's enough rumors to indicate the organization is willing to make a change.

Not a fan. Can we please go after someone that isn’t a retread?

Honestly I'm just hoping there's SOME indication we're leaving the door open for a change.

What if this is a ploy by the FO to have the fans remain happy when they retain Gentry?

At least it seems like there’s no actual sources. More like a “Griffin has a history with them, so they ‘could’ be options”

At least that’s what I’m hoping

I didn't think Griffin likes Tyronn Lue also.

Finally not just Lebron liked Tyronn Lue at Cavs...

Gentry obviously was never the answer, but neither is Lue or Kidd.

Yeah, it looks like that article references thIS ESPN article. But the way it's worded reads as "sources say consider Griff's past connection to these guys". At least in my mind that's how I read it.

Anyone other than Gentry at this point is a move in a positive direction.

That’s such a dumb take. We said the same thing about Monty.

Or it just delays us from getting the coach we really need to take this team to the top.

The goal isn't just to win a couple more games than Gentry does, but make deep playoff runs. And Lue or Kidd ain't it.

The organization has Always been considering a change. Uncle Al will be moved to an ambassador’s position with the team.

This article is false.

Woj does not represent it them as candidates due to inside info.

He speculates. There are two types of Woj tweets:

1) inside info

2) throwing agents a bone and “speculating” by getting their clients name out there. This gets him future info.


That’s what that tweet was.

Not gonna lie, Griffin’s poor track record with coaching hires is why I had some skepticism. And this rumor is basically my worst fear. Two very much overrated coaches that don’t seem to be allot we at all with what this team needs.

Given this is a Woj rumor, I give it more than a grain of salt given the two are friends. Really hope Griffin ultimately broadens his thinking between now and that moment of choosing Gentry’s replacement.
