    Lol.

    What a disaster.

    Took over a team with improving Wiggins, KAT, LaVine, Dunn and a pick that could have been Lauri.

    Ends up with stagnant (even declining?) Wiggins and KAT.... plus Covington and Dario lol.

    Oh Andy one playoff game win.

    LMFAO THIBS!

    Well he at least still gets to cash his checks and he will be back if he wants to.

    Firing Thibs now shows just how piss poor the Wolves organization is. They don’t trade Butler for young future assets because Thibs wants to compete now.... then 6 weeks later they fire Thibs.... so now they don’t have the assets or the coach.

    This could be good for the Rockets as there may be another trade partner. Thibs was impossible to trade with.

    Would be a perfect fit. But at that dollar amount I’m not so sure.

    In before "See, you should have just taken our four firsts!"

    It was a matter of when, not if, for Tom.

    Thibs is insane.... he felt he could keep Butler.... felt he could add 50 points to Wiggins IQ and felt he could win 50 games and save his job.

    Well at least now he can pack his huge legal briefcase with notes and Grainey VHS tapes of Vinny Del Negro defending the pick and roll. Move back into his hotel in NY and wear matching 1980’s jumpsuits with Stan Van Gundy as they spend all day together on the stair master and sauna and talk about Larry Johnson and Rick Mahorn.

    So another coach-GM bites the dust. There is noone left except for Pop.
    However hiring Hoidberg????? Is Minny looking up to GarPax?

    I wonder if Bickerstaff is about to get fired too, might be the right time but most of all the right place for a McHale-JB reunion [​IMG]
