Bob Beyer will join Stan Van Gundy's coaching staff with the New Orleans Pelicans, sources told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Beyer was with the Kings last season.

Beyer has previously worked with Van Gundy with the Magic and Pistons.

Stan Van Gundy said that he will be creative in how he uses Zion Williamson this upcoming season, and won't pin Williamson down to a single position.

"He is an unbelievable playmaker for a guy at his size. He's a guy who can take the ball off the glass and lead the break and make plays. He can make passes off the dribble. He can finish over bigger people inside. He's a multi-talented guy. I don't look at him in any way as far as is he a four or a five. I'm not sure those labels matter when it comes to him," said Van Gundy in his introductory press conference with the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Van Gundy added that he's more interested in seeing who can play effectively with Williamson as opposed to Williamson's position.

"I think it's more what positions we want to put him in and who is best around him and things like that. It's not limiting him to a position. I think we'll get to a starting point of that at the start of the season and my guess is as time goes on, I'm going to find out that he can do even more than I think he can do and things will evolve from there," added Van Gundy.

Van Gundy complimented Lonzo Ball, comparing his basketball IQ to JJ Redick.

Van Gundy said he also looked forward to solely focusing on coaching.

"I will say this, one of the things I'm really excited about is just getting back into a coaching role and letting [the Pelicans' front office] worry about that other stuff."

The New Orleans Pelicans are unlikely to trade J.J. Redick following the hiring of Stan Van Gundy. Redick played a role in the Pelicans hiring Van Gundy.

"I would be surprised if they trade J.J. Redick," said Brian Windhorst on his podcast. "Redick was one of the drawing cards for Van Gundy there. He coached him in Orlando.

"Early in the process, I was told Griff came to J.J. to sort of get a scouting report on Stan Van Gundy and it was J.J.'s strong recommendation that helped continue to pursue him."

Redick has one season remaining on his current contract at the age of 36.

"I think J.J. is going to end up being Stan's right hand man on the roster."

The New Orleans Pelicans have received interest from approximately 10 teams on Jrue Holiday. The Denver Nuggets are one of the teams to express interest in trading for Holiday. The Nuggets are one of the title contenders with the most appealing collection of assets to pull off a trade for a star of Holiday's caliber.

Holiday can become a free agent in 2021.

Many teams believe the Pelicans will explore shedding some salary going into the 20-21 season.

Stan Van Gundy has agreed to become the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, according to ESPN. Shams Charania of The Athletic reports the deal is for four seasons.

Van Gundy replaces Alvin Gentry as the Pelicans enter Year 2 of the Zion Williamson era.

The Detroit Pistons parted ways with Van Gundy in 2018 where he was both head coach and president of basketball operations. Van Gundy spent the 19-20 season as a color analyst for TNT.

Van Gundy led the Orlando Magic to The Finals in 2009.

The Brooklyn Nets and New Orleans Pelicans held talks before the 2020 deadline centered on Jrue Holiday.

Holiday is commonly viewed as a player who would fit perfectly with Kevin Durant and Jrue Holiday due to his ability to play off the ball and his ability on defense while matching Brooklyn's timeline of contention.

"That certainly is something that's been out there and I think it has been reported. If it hasn't been reported, I found out somewhere, I don't think it was from an executive, maybe it was, there was some discussions between the Nets and Pelicans in February."

Holiday can become a free agent in 2021.

Stan Van Gundy has emerged as one of four expected finalists for the head coaching vacancy of the New Orleans Pelicans.

Van Gundy was last a head coach in 2018 with the Detroit Pistons.

Van Gundy had his most success with the Orlando Magic, taking the team to the 2019 Finals.

Ty Lue is another finalist for the position.

Jamahl Mosley could become a candidate for the head coaching vacancy with the Dallas Mavericks.

Mosley began his career with the Denver Nuggets before joining the Cleveland Cavaliers and then the Dallas Mavericks.

"I'm going to mention one name that I think is going to be a candidate there," said Tim MacMahon. "I definitely think fits the mould as far as being somebody who is extremely popular with players, is great with developing relationships with players, and has some history with David Griffin: That's Jamahl Mosley.

"He is Luka [Doncic's] go-to guy. He's the Mavericks' defensive coordinator, which is kind of you know... his job is to make chicken salad out of chicken feathers.

"I know Rick Carlisle feels... Mosley has interviewed for several other jobs. I believe he is going to interview with the Pelicans. I don't want to be firm there."

"I know some stuff I don't really want to say because I'd get in trouble," replied Brian Windhorst.

Will Weaver has emerged as a candidate for the head coaching position with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Weaver is currently head coach with the Sydney Kings.

Weaver has been an assistant coach in the NBA with the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets before becoming head coach of the Long Island Nets of the G League.
