I hope he’s exactly what Joe Dumars was.

So it sounds like he's essentially in Dumars's old role while also not being an out of touch butthead notorious for leaking things.

Does he report to Vivek or Monte?

hopefully with the important distinction that Monte brought him back and he's not a Vivek plant.

 

[EIM86]

I’m ok with this cause Gentry won’t be power seeking like Dumars

 

[Gguod]

Better hope this is Monte for some reason hiring him and Gentry only answering to Monte. Anything other than that would be total garbage and really horrible

I think they made it pretty clear to Gentry that he wasn't being considered for the full time job very early and this is the reward for being a good soldier. I'm cool with it.

Yeah, thinking about it more, seems likely they’re giving him something to do since they are paying him anyway.

"Other duties as assigned".

Luke should be cleaning toilets though.

It sounds like basically a fancy title for a basketball scout. My guess is they didn’t want to pay him for sitting at home so might as well give him something productive to do for the franchise and earn that paycheck instead of paying to stay home

didn’t you know? Sacramento is where you get paid a 4 year contract but only need to work 2. Best job ever~~~~

The Stockton to Sacramento pipeline is broken so it's great if we're going to put some energy there. Especially with 2 more second rounders this year.

Thank you Ham! Without his confirmation, I never would have been able to know this happened.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

"A little late, but..." is I guess officially his catchphrase now?

It's just farcical, at this point. @Tetsujin's reposts are pretty much my only exposure to Twitter, but I know enough about online culture to recognize a "joke account" when I see one, and I'm finding it so hard to believe that this is not one big running joke. It's too ridiculous to be real.

He is such a Johnny come lately! Never met anyone who can talk so much crap but never actually broken a story in his LIFE. Yet always acts like he was the first with the news.

I thought it was, "I can confirm . . ."

Try working with him on a project (like several of us did) and you would find out what a "big running joke" he really is.

It's funny - he blocked me on Twitter after calling him out on some stuff. Might be the biggest favor he ever did for me. I don't have to see any of his **** anywhere on that medium.

Kindly sir, you could not really believe.... "Better hope this is Monte for some reason hiring him and Gentry only answering to Monte."

 

[24 rick barry]

I know him.

James Ham is a good man. James was analytical and provided some insight.

He gets what he gets....and reports accordingly.

He's trying to make a living and hopefully, build something? Are not we all trying to do the same? Why no respect for this working man?

 

[serbiangoat]

In place to take over for Mike Brown when the inevitable occurs

 

[KainLear]

Full-sentence was "Per Woj, I can also confirm..."

We found Ham's burner account.

Every time i see that Ham guy, he’s “a little late, but …”

Jesus Christ

The vast majority of us are working people. That’s not a good reason to ask for respect.

How about be good at the job? When someone is able to do that, respect tends to follow.

He screwed over several members of KF (including the Captain and myself) on a project we were working on, stole our "property" for the project, then threatened to sue one of us. He's not "a good man".

Agreed.

This may be a true statement instead of being a funny statement…..but it could be both as well.

Agreed.

What project was this, if you don't mind me asking?
