Motley Musings - Friday 5/22

By Michael Schneid

• Warriors assistant and former Suns head coach Alvin Gentry, reportedly wants the Pelicans job. Yeah, so do I. Pelicans made the playoffs and have Anthony Davis, one of the five best players in the NBA. Who wouldn't want that job?
• What if the Thunder kept James Harden and had him Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant? Would OKC have won the last 5 championships? Or would Harden not have developed into the player he is today? 
• The Knicks should consider drafting Willie Cauley-Stein over whichever PG Philly does not draft. PGs are available in free agency and centers are hard to come by 

• Despite working out a glut of random veterans, the Cowboys are better off rolling the dice with Joseph Randle as their lead running back in 2015 with Darren McFadden splitting carries
• There could be as many as a half-dozen quarterbacks drafted in the first or second round of the 2016 NFL draft.
