Seriously, whey wouldn't Lue get some consideration?

But, as I said, I think that this is Griffin throwing out a smokescreen.

Lue would be at least tolerable over Kidd.

But I do not believe either will even be interviewed.

Even if Atkinson is their choice and Langdon lined it up the day he got fired, the team has to go through the process of promoting/firing Gentry and then conducting a search for a replacement.

Wouldn't it make sense that they should already know who the next head coach is if the plan was always a 1-and-done year for Gentry? I would hope so.

Honestly, I don't even care about names right now though. The prospect of a new coach is good enough for me.

Ty Lue and Jason Kidd are two out of the three worse choices you could get.

I would hope that if Gentry is fired, they will look at Atkinson as well as maybe Lee, Griffin or Ham. I like someone from the Bucks because I think this team needs to be built around Zion like the Bucks built around Giannis.

Zion - Giannis role
Jrue - Bledsoe role
BI - Middleton role

We need to get a Brook Lopez type big as well.

I don’t have a big problem with Lue. He’s just not a preferred option.

Jason Kidd is unacceptable. I’d rather Jerry Stackhouse or Charles Lee.

I would rather some new blood. Nothing wrong with new ideas and new systems.

Well they are both shitty coaches so that’s a start.


So is Gentry & they fired everyone in the organization but him.

Then tried to build a playoff team for him instead of tanking & what would have been the most natural progression with such a shite coach.

So here we are. You give Griffin way too much credit.

Griffin has done a very good job in roster transformation.

He’s been bad with coaches and retaining Gentry was stupid.

I and others justified it because we assumed it was short term. The amount of organizational turnover was extreme, so having at least some continuity made sense, and they have a long prior relationship. We all assumed it would be a one year thing. It’s easy to justify things you shouldn’t to try and make it through a year of bad basketball.

If Gentry is back next year then it’s a major fail.

If he makes a poor retread hire like Lue, Kidd, or Jackson it’s an unforgivable offense.

We will see. This story isn’t told yet.

Lue I’d refuse to watch another pels game if they hired him.

I've been a Pelicans fan long enough to know that I should instinctively hate the next hire until proven otherwise
