Andrew Lopez

Just to update: Pelicans have indeed started their coaching search process.

The plan, according to sources, is to ultimately bring in possibly 2 or 3 candidates for formal face-to-face interviews.

No timetable yet on when the face-to-face interviews will start, however.

Plan was always to take their time - in part because of candidates being in the bubble and in part because the season won’t start in December.

"Pelicans are waiting for Covid vaccine so they can see the coaches' faces during the interview"

They will heavily consider getting Doc if they can.

Otherwise it’ll be a much longer wait. They will make roster moves and trades before making the hire.

So this tells me they've done preliminary Zoom interviews and have narrowed down the candidates they want to interview further

“Pelicans plan to make a hire sometime before next years NBA Finals. No need to rush the process, David Griffin says.”

I mean there's no issue with going slow.

Philly, Houston, and indy are also taking their time. Why no stress there?

I guess the fact that they aren’t rushing tells you something then.

Yeah. I guess they aren’t in love with anyone yet.

I think it comes down to Lue, Rivers, Atkinson.

So what does Lopez actually tell us? All a bunch of vague speculation.

Not much.

Just that they have "started" and will only do face to face interviews with 2-3 people. This likely tells us that we had a much larger list, likely did "unofficial" Zoom interviews with a ton of people, and have narrowed it down.

Yeah, a lot of "possibly" and "likely." Wish we had decent local Pelicans reporters. Most of the info we seem to get is from national reporters.

That has always been the case. Lopez does a reasonably good job. I love how Kushner gives no fricks and holds the franchise's feet to the fire.

Agree, Would be nice if Kushner actually had some sources or contacts to gain information though.
