As usual, there wasn’t a shortage of rumors flying around the NBA pre-draft camp. But the most discussed one, hands down, pertained to the status of Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau. To virtually every NBA official in attendance, it wasn’t a question of whether Thibodeau will remain with the Bulls but where he’ll end up. Will it be in Orlando? Or will it be New Orleans? In the last couple of weeks, there have been whispers that the vacant Orlando job is Thibodeau’s for the taking. In the last couple of days, there has been chatter that the Magic will make Thibodeau an extremely lucrative offer, one that could make him perhaps the highest-paid coach in the game. Two NBA officials said they heard the Magic will be willing to pay Thibodeau anywhere from $7 million to $9 million annually. What’s more, they said Thibodeau will be accorded extensive input on basketball-oriented decisions. - See more at:http://journaltimes.com/sports/bask...cle_0b44eaab-3d72-5b74-9999-4bedbd98fe7c.html
