Pelicans Assistant Robert Pack Honored By Karr High School; Tyreke Evans Doubtful To Play Vs. Jazz

'I don't have any doubt that it would be different if we would have had him from the start,' Gentry told reporters after Tuesday's practice. 'But unfortunately things happened and we had to deal with a situation where we didn't have him. He's an incredibly gifted athlete and player and I think what get lost in all of this is that he's so good defensively for us. He's able to guard whoever.' Holiday will become an unrestricted free agent this upcoming July. New Orleans Pelicans. © 2013 STATS ...

Detroit Pistons ’ swingman Tobias Harris was sold for pennies, too (specifically Brandon Jennings and Ersan Ilyasova ), showing the penchant Magic GM Rob Hennigan has for making head-scratching deals like the one that sent Ibaka to Toronto for Terrence Ross and a first round pick.
