Did Damian Lillard just pick the New Orleans Pelicans’ new head coach?
The New Orleans Pelicans fired head coach Alvin Gentry in August and then promptly disappeared.
Little has leaked from David Griffin’s camp since Gentry was let go, which has led to rampant speculation about who the next head coach will be.
Tyronn Lue is the most recent name to surface, but otherwise, the Pelicans’ front office hasn’t said a thing.
