Saw this over on Carolina Huddle and thought it was interesting

Marc Stein: Bobcats likely to seek proven coach after Dunlap experiment. Alvin Gentry has resume, presence & local ties. Expect him in mix for that job Twitter @ESPNSteinLine

Thoughts?

Unless he is desperate he shouldn't touch it.

There are a few, emphasis on few, positives to the job.

~$21M in cap space and a top 5 pick and two 1st rd picks next year. A coach like Gentry would definitely attract better free agents than Dunlap would have

I think it would be a good fit. Alvin is from right up the road in Shelby, team has a ton of cap space and three 1st rounders in the next two years. If the franchise can add some talent in free agency, could have long-term potential. Bringing back the Hornets name could stir up some more local support as well.
