Pelicans have little reason to confirm status of Demps and Gentry

The status of Dell Demps and Alvin Gentry lingers over the franchise. Scott Kushner wrote an excellent piece for The New Orleans Advocate on the day-to-day nature of things at Airline Drive this morning, I encourage you all to read it. If history is any guide to how Tom Benson and Mickey Loomis operate it is unlikely the organization will issue any grand report on the future of Demps and Gentry. Just last year this same question on the fate of the front office and head coach hung for months left unanswered.

Alvin Gentry enters the final guaranteed year of his contract for the 2017-18 season; the New Orleans Pelicans hold a team option on the 2018-19 season according to reports when Gentry was initially hired.
