Pao još jedan otkaz u NBA ligi, poznata i zamena?

Pisali smo da su Čikago Bulsi otpustili trenera, više OVDE.

Sada su isti potez povukli i Nju Orleans Pelikansi, koji su se nakon pet godina zahvalili na saradnji Alvinu Džentriju.

Iskusni stručnjak je pre Pelikansa radio i kao prvi trener Majamija, Detroita, LA Klipersa i Finiks Sansa, a kao pomoćni trener je sa Golden Stejt Voriorsima osvojio i prsten.

Dobar rad u redovima "Ratnika" obezbedio mu je priliku u Nju Orleansu, ali je samo jednom uspeo da odvede ekipu do plej-ofa.

Pelikansi su minulog leta trejdoveli prvu zvezdu Entonija Dejvisa u Lejkerse, dobili su nekoliko sjajnih mladih igrača poput Lonza Bola i Brendona Ingrama, stigao je sa drafta i Zajon Vilijamson, pa je jasno da je pred ovom franšizom lepa budućnost, ali u njoj neće biti Džentrija.

Američki mediji spekulišu da bi na mestu prvog trenera Nju Orleansa mogao da ga nasledi Tajron Lu.

On trenutno radi u stručnom štabu Doka Riversa u LA Klipersima, a u redove Pelikansa bi mogao da ga dovede GM Dejvid Grifin, koji mu je svojevremeno pružio šansu i u Klivlendu, zajedno su osvojili i šampionski prsten u Ohaju.

Tajron Lu je kandidat i za klupu Bruklina, koji ipak prvo želi da pokuša sa jednim od najvećih trenera u istoriji lige, više OVDE.

David Griffin announced today that Alvin Gentry has been relieved of his head coaching duties. “I’m grateful for and appreciative of Alvin’s commitment to the organization and, most importantly, the local community,” said Griffin. “The City of New Orleans is richer because of his presence here. These types of moves are often about fit and timing, and we believe now is the right time to make this change and bring in a new voice.” “I want to thank Alvin for his contributions to the Pelicans and the New Orleans community,” said Pelicans Owner Gayle Benson. “We believe that making a head coaching change is necessary at this time. I truly appreciate Alvin’s leadership, dedication and perseverance through some challenging circumstances over the past five seasons. He will always be a part of our Pelicans family, and we wish him and his family all the best in the future. Our intention moving forward is to find the right head coach that will guide this Pelicans team to compete for championships. That is what our fans deserve.” Gentry was named head coach of the Pelicans on May 30, 2015. He compiled a 175-225 (.438) regular season record in five seasons with New Orleans, earning one playoff berth in 2018 and advancing to the Western Conference Semifinals. The Pelicans finished the 2019-20 season with a 30-42 record.
