    Still won’t change the fact that Zion is made of porcelain.

    At first thought why fire a coach who’s had to deal with an all new team, injuries etc. but I don’t think he’s ever been a good coach. The crazy thing is how there’s still serious interest in Kidd, by the Nets of all organisations!

    always thought gentry was a good assistant type of caliber. also wat is the hype with ty lue? i thought the whole world was laughing at him in cleveland. he was a mediocre assistant coach to lerbon.

    New Orleans thinks they can get elderly LeBron in a few years.

    Not surprising, but Gentry was never really given much during his 5 year stay either in terms of talent. Not significant talent combined at the same time anyway. Don't know how good of a coach he is, because it's a crapshoot with the Pelicans. Hopefully he gets on somewhere else again maybe not as a head coach.

    You don't understand. Alvin Gentry never gets another job. And I'm gonna run him out of the business, and let me tell you why.

    Alvin Gentry ruined one of Smoothie King International's most valuable proteges. For five months we had Zion under training. Singing lessons; acting lessons, dancing lessons. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on him. I was gonna make him a big star!

    And let me be even more frank, just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, and it's not all dollars and cents. Zion was beautiful; he was young, he was innocent. He was the greatest piece of ass I ever had, and I had'em all over the world!

    Dang I kind of liked Alvin. Not Alvin's fault if Zion isn't in shape. The Chicago Bulls coach or King's GM, those I get.
