I would be fine with that hire. Someone with an exciting offensive philosophy. I'd love to see Rose work with a good offensive mind every day in practice (especially with Butler and Mirotic on the roster).

I don't like Gentry but here is a read from a Denver Nuggets' blog:
http://www.denverstiffs.com/2015/3/9/81 ... vin-gentryIt is a bit more difficult to gauge Gentry’s impact as a coach over the last two seasons since he has been an assistant, but both the Clippers and the Warriors have improved offensively with him on the sideline. Clippers coach Doc Rivers suggested that the idea behind the team’s revamped offense in 2013 was an emphasis on movement. "Every team talks about running. We want to be a running team. But for us, we really want to be a motion team," Rivers told reporters in a press conference during training camp in 2013. "We want to be a team that's in constant motion, constant movement, so it's very difficult to load up on us."
Gentry’s track record suggests that his system needs a dynamic point guard in order to operate properly. In Phoenix he had Nash. With the Clippers he had Chris Paul. In Golden State he has Steph Curry. I am a big fan of Ty Lawson but it isn’t an insult to say that he is a tier below those three. The Nuggets roster as a whole isn’t currently in position to run the type of offense that the Warriors run. Kenneth Faried and Draymond Green are virtually opposites of each other. Additionally, the 2010 Suns, 2013 Clippers and 2014 Warriors all have incredible depth with skilled passers and playmakers at all positions. It's nice to say that Gentry has a great offensive plan but perhaps the most important characteristic is that it requires a very talented team to execute it.

Gentry coached before, never liked him before. Rather try to get Hoiberg

He's got a solid resume and really knows offense. I'd be happy with this if Thibs is gone, which seems to be almost certain I guess.

I'd like him as an assistant, but his head coach record is pretty mediocre to say the most.

But If its Gentry who opened up the Warriors offense then I'd reconsider him lol. I love motion offense, offense of the 80's

as Red said above, his head coaching resume is very unappealing. He's an asst. coach and that's it.

The assistant coaches will probably be retained right? I think thibs did max out our defense, hopefully that will carry over. Now we do need some motion on offense

I still think Hoiberg is main candidate and it's his job until he says no. Gentry and his record as head coach tells you he is there to keep seat warm for Hoiberg eventually.
