Pelicans To Consider Ty Lue, Jason Kidd If Alvin Gentry Isn't Retained 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Aug 8, 2020 2:34 pm

The New Orleans Pelicans will have a decision to make on the future of Alvin Gentry as he enters the final season of his existing deal, sources tell ESPN.


If the Pelicans do make a coaching change, sources say Ty Lue and Jason Kidd could emerge as candidates. David Griffin has a relationship with both coaches dating back years.


The Milwaukee Bucks fired Jason Kidd during the 17-18 season, while the Cleveland Cavaliers parted ways with Lue at the beginning of the 18-19 season.


Both Kidd and Lue have been head coaching candidates for several other jobs since.

I’m just amazed that Kidd’s name keeps coming up for every opening.

His agent is the hardest working "sauce" in the media business.

The Pelicans just have a bad front office. They were gifted Zion and screwed that up they did the same with Anthony Davis.
