Thibodeau to the jazz after Jazz missed on Avery Johnson?

[Coach Ellis]

Looks like Pels took Alvin Gentry. Supposedly, Thibs didn't believe that Anthony would end up staying in NO once the higher cap comes in.

That's probably a smokescreen. Pelicans will offer him a 5 year max contract before he becomes a RFA, and then will be able to offer him a ridiculous amount more than everyone else when that contract runs out. I don't really see that as being a factor at all, tbh.
