    At least 2 seasons, if he get's fired Dell has to go to since he's the one that picked Gentry in the first place, a new GM more than likely would want to bring in his own coach.

    Going to be a long year. Defense was bad last year, and the defense is even worse now. Atleast I got the NFL, and my team winning to hold me over right now.

    I'm very curious to know what made you a Peliies fan instead of riding with the Charlotte Hornets fan.

    He already a bandwagon fan. He was a Saints fan until they started losing. Turned into a falcon fan until they lost to the Saints. Now he a Saints fan again. I love him but he killing me. I dont have a ally.

    I think it's a good thing that eventually we're going back to the lottery at the end of this season to try and add more talent to this roster to build around AD. We've been stuck in the middle due to injuries and under-performances from our core players for like the last 3-4 years. If we can come outta the lottery with either a future point guard to replace Jrue Holiday injury riddled ass or a potential 2-way starter at the small forward position we'd be in even really good shape heading into free agency with $24 million in cap space to spend off Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson's expiring contracts.

    I say we finish with at least 30 something wins max whenever everybody gets healthy, 20 something would probably get us a good place in the lottery tho but I think we're better than a 20 win team.

    This actually won't be a bad idea. However AD probably be pressure to "win now" by the powers that be.

    At 22 years old and the body language that ? was displaying on the court to start the season, mentally he's not ready to be in a demanding position. I didn't realize how much Monty had hand-guided him til all that child like pouty looking behavior he started displaying in the middle of games because ? wasn't going his way easily offensively.

    i read something that i agree 100%

    i think the Gentry has to get the guys to understand that playing at a faster pace doesnt mean you take faster shots

    TOO many one and dones that ? momentum. You can play fast and still get quality shots
