    Thibs drafts better, if given the chance.

    I do hope that thats not the entirety of your 'proof.' You'll need much, much more than that. :crazy:

    Well, you have the history of all the drafting done and the regular season and playoff results. Only under Thibs did they break 49 wins multiple times or make it to the ECF or make it to the 2nd round multiple times.

    The facts where the rubber meets the road are just inconvenient for the arguments you've been making.

    I read somewhere briefly that Matt Lloyd wanted Teague. That was right before he went to Orlando,

    Does the writer make his living as a sportswriter or is he just a blogger?

    He makes his living as a blogger.

    I'd be careful about dismissing his work out if hand. See what he links to in his posts.

    Yeah, it reads like a long and kinda goofy post. My guess is that GarPax could do without this sort of defense.

    I wouldn't cut a writer who says stuff like, "I'm not a doctor but..." And then spews a bunch of nonsense he knows nothing about.

    Today, Zach Lowe's credibility to be called in question?

    http://grantland.com/the-triangle/whats-next-for-kevin-love/

    Flash forward 11 months, and it’s incredible how much has changed on the power forward front. Lee doesn’t play,and Green has emerged as a borderline star who received strong consideration for defensive player of the year, most improved player, and even an All-NBA team. Even the loudest Green boosters didn’t expect this. That group includes Adams, who pushed the Bulls to draft Green in 2012 when he worked as Tom Thibodeau’s lead assistant. “As a coaching staff, we were very disappointed we didn’t get him,” Adams says. “He is definitely a Chicago kind of guy. This is no reflection on Kevin Love, but every team wants a Draymond Green. He has internalized the parts of the game that are the winning parts: the hustle, the grit, the defense, making the right play at the right time. I love that guy. I’m glad he’s on our team.”
