Looks like D’Antoni will be an assistant coach next year.

Thoughts on this hire? Seems like he needs to hire some forward thinking minds offensively and defensively.

They probably should’ve gone with a younger coach or current assistant coach. The NBA loves retreads though, and why these older guard type coaches in general continue to get hired.

Looking at the list of retreads looking for a job, I guess it could’ve been worse not sure if he would’ve been a serious candidate elsewhere either

I think he'll make them better but he won't get them to a title.

I think if Pelicans get to the playoffs it would be like a title for them.

Such a great feeling knowing we finally have some coaching stability heading into the off-season.

For Head Coach, yes. Although I do think we could see Kidd and/or Handy be pried away for the next level up in the not too distant future (Kidd - HC, Handy - Associate HC / HC).

Handy declared he's staying. Kidd... I honestly dont care if he leaves.

I think if Zion develops out to his high end potential, they will probably waste him and he'll go somewhere else to win a title. Thats what I think of the Pelicans.
