That is a technically accurate report that will have no bearing on who they pick.

He was either in the owners box at a Saints game this season, or maybe Payton got him to give a motivational speech before a game or something like that. It's a pretty weak tie compared to the other 2.

Dumb post by him and you. He didn't say they were candidates, he's just saying they have ties. Which kinda is pointless info.

Another name with strong ties to the Saints-Pelicans: Morris Bart

I can do this too.

Marc Spears is a hack who i'm glad Seth Dunlap took a blow torch to the other night over how awful he is. He plays up this,"im from New Orleans" angle when he wants to pretend to be some Pelicans authority, but ultimately just shits on the city whenever he can, which is why he had no problem helping Boogie lie about the organization.

There's are reason he tweeted that without any kind of context or follow up. He knows people are gonna snicker at how dumb it would be for us to hire any of those guys.

Yeah pretty much just the motivational speech. Jimmy Buffet also can't be ruled out due to his ties

Especially with us hiring a search firm to turn up candidates rather than pulling a name out of Shinn’s leftover Rolodex.

Let Gentry be. The way he has handled this S&^% Show he has earned a chance at another season!

Sorry, no. I respect Gentry but pity should not be a reason to buy him another season. If whoever ends up being hired to run Basketball Operations decides to go with another coach, you go with another coach.

Calling Spears a hack is an insult to hacks. That guy is a fraud. It was hilarious when he got caught in his web of lies during the Boogie fiasco. He has zero ties or insight into the Pelicans.

That’s the laziest reporting ever. Just because these guys have ties to New Orleans and basketball doesn’t mean it has anything to do with team. It shows how little the mainstream media has intel within the organization. It’s almost to stupid to respond too. You might as well add Birdman, Shaq, and Dan Dickau.
