This is desperation. Gentry will be the second coach fired.
It is desperation — because they have so many injured players, they were allowed to sign a 16th man. They have to release Smith (who’s contract isn’t guaranteed) as soon as someone gets healthy.
They literally needed a body who wouldn’t demand a guaranteed contract, which is all Smith is.
Yep and if by some miracle he can actually play, they will have to release or trade a player under a guaranteed contract.
The Pelicans are a complete mess with so many unmovable long and big contracts. Then those players are hurt compounding matters.
