Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Thibs needs to sign with the Spurs and create the the first coaching super staff...

I want to dislike this post. 😤

#Bulls sources: at least three starters ripped Thibs in exit interview, said they'd avoid team facility this summer if he were still there.

If there is truth to this, then Game 6 makes much more sense.

Goes back to a post I made earlier. Players don't want to be coached like every game is Game 7 of the Finals. That schtick doesn't work with professional basketball players. The window for guys like that is small and his had gone it appears.

I'd be shocked if this didn't happen to any HC in the game. Thought it was natural that not everyone in the locker room would like you so I'm surprised it's even an issue from the media.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

That and the fact that his offensive schemes were pretty archaic and stale.

Need Hoiberg to pull off the ultimate coup and hire Thibs as a defensive assistant haha

Hoiberg will be interesting if/when he arrives in the NBA. I'm a big college basketball fan and I think he's one of the most overrated X's & O's guy out there. His Iowa State teams often underachieve as well.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's true going back to Noah's DPOY press conference, but it's Dan Bernstein, who's a proven clown.

Is that guy reliable ?

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

Well unless Ballmer does double duty and fires Doc as GM and coach, then I'll go with Wittman, even though I'm not sure that is a "big surprise".

Sounds more like click bait from Sheridan than anything.

Sounded like this to me from the jump. I remember when real journalists used to just report on stuff when it happened and left the teases for opinion shows and sitcoms.

Just heard on ESPN radio that trust issues included Thibs not liking chicken. I wouldn't trust that ****er either

Yes, he's pretty solid despite what King says about him. lol

Was a joke, not sure who told it. Sorry, sarcasm is hard to detect on the internet and I'm an extremely sarcastic person which probably isn't evident since I haven't been posting here much.

No, no he's not. Which is why nobody in Chicago likes him but a few people. How's that Derrick Rose/Jimmy Butler feud working out that he was all over?

But when it comes from guys who had been so adamant in supporting him earlier in his tenure when these rumblings began, it speaks volumes.

Again, assuming it's true. But...Bernstein gonna Bernstein so who knows lol

I do feel like this has some validity though, because I remember Deng telling a story about how he'd go to Berto to get in some shots and relax and Thibs would be there, and would come down from his office to put him through a grueling workout, for like, no reason lol

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/237992/Dwyane-Wade-Heat-Have-Sizable-Gap-On-Contract-Plans

Dwyane Wade opted out of the final two years of his contract that would have paid him $41.6 million and instead accepted a two-year, $31 million deal. The contract includes a player option next for $16.1 million.

Wade said last summer that he was curious to see what he could command in the summer of 2016, when the cap is expected to skyrocket from $67 million to $89 million.

But according to associates, there is a sentiment in Wade's camp that he could opt out this summer with the hope the Miami Heat would give him a three-year deal.

The Heat would be content with Wade opting in for next season, the re-signing for significant but not huge money for another two seasons in 2016.

A sizable gap between what Wade would like over the next three seasons and what the Heat are prepared to pay him has materialized.

Give it up Dwyane...damaged goods. Not sure why he thinks he could command more money at this point in his career. He's getting older and worse as each year passes and can't carry a team anymore. Every franchise can learn from the Lakers/Kobe about not being loyal to a fault.
