Lots of speculation on who will take over for Monty Williams after he was fired as coach of the New Orleans Pelicans — a subject I discussed here on WWL Radio in New Orleans.
For those who beliueve Tom Thibodeau might take the job … hold on a second.
First, Thibodeau was very close to Monty Williams after the two served as assistant coaches to Mike Krzyzewski on Team USA two of the past three summers. Thibodeau does not want to go to a dysfunctional organization that values organizational charts above loyalty, and even if he had the chance to call Monty Williams and ask him about the job, how do you think that conversation would go?
The Pelicans job was one of many topics I discussed today on the Bobby K show in Louisville, Kentucky.
And the interview turned to an interesting subject — the amount of power being wielded by the likes of Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
