Why would he want to be coach and team president yet have a GM? Team president deals with ticket prices, season ticket holders, t-shirt designs and who is on the dance team.... oh wait... now I get it. Will the GM answer to him? If the team sucks does the team president fire the coach or does the GM do that after he asks the team president for permission?
The Twolves are going to be good no doubt...congrats to thibs...just initiative for Olshey to work harder
The Bulls never made any trades mid season to give Thibs any help. A few years back, they knew they weren't quite contenders and were offered Pierce and Garnett for Boozer and Noah. I'd have done it in a heartbeat. Thibs didn't play his guys much more than Stotts. The greats all played heavy minutes: Kareem, Jordan, Bird, LeBron... The minutes thing was pure spin by the Bulls organization.
Yeah, missing Curry to take Rubio wasn't an unforced error...no one in the world thought Curry could be this good and Rubio was one of the best point guard prospects ever and he's partially lived up to it. His defense and passing is aces, though his complete inability to shoot makes him a tough guy to build around in this day and age. The crazy, didn't-make-sense at the time miss was Flynn over Curry. What compounds the crazy is that Curry even projected to fit better alongside Rubio than Flynn. One of Curry's perceived weaknesses at the time was how well he could run the point--many saw him as a born scorer. A gifted scorer with a spectacular shooting touch seems like a natural to slot in alongside Rubio, if both pan out. Instead they took Flynn. (Granted, Curry would be super undersized as a shooting guard, but Flynn was even smaller and Rubio conceivably could have defended the 2 instead.)
