Alvin Gentry is on the hot seat after the Pelicans’ woeful start to the season, Sam Amico of AmicoHoops.
Gentry is on a relatively cheap contract worth a total of $13.75MM over four years. That figure includes a $4MM team option on the final season. Last March, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reported Dell Demps expressed reservations on numerous occasions last season about the previous year’s decision to hire Gentry, but Demps denied the report.
Gentry was hired to take the next step with the Pelicans after they claimed the final playoff spot in 2014/15, but the team was slowed by a slew of injuries last season and underachieved. New Orleans went 30-52 last year and finished 12th in the Western Conference.

Gosh, New Orleans should have the best coach and the best players. Y’all ever been? It’s the darn best city in this planet. Food and music for all you. Every one loves. Hire the best for all coaches and positions and win all games. I’m gone start watching this sport. I like this team.

Total garbage. Gentry is just an okay coach, but Demps is a bad GM. If you fire Gentry, then Demps should be right behind him.
What if they went an got all the best people. Get Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and Larry Bird and Lebron James. Why not. If y’all want to win just gotta say let’s go win and do it. Be a boss hawg not no scared chicken.
