    That's a complete no brainer. Franchise Player > Coach every time.

    He's winning. Management's goal is playoffs and profit, not wins.

    You remember that time when we all bitched that Stotts played his guys too much?

    Yeah. It'd be like that again.

    In a heartbeat.
    Thibs would bring some much needed toughness & defense to the team.

    The Bulls are nuts to let him go. He should be first choice as coach by all but very few teams.

    If Stotts does indeed play his players more, I would absolutely take Thibs. Look at what the Grizz are doing to us, we need a defensive injection.

    Blazers had 4 guys play 33/game or more. Bulls just 2.

    If you look at the Bulls history, guys like Noah and Deng who played 38 minutes for Thibs had injury problems all along and before Thibs was coach.

    Jimmy Butler, a #29 pick became an all star, and many think Gasol had his best year with Thibs as coach. Noah played 38 last year and won DPOY and made all NBA 1st team.

    Thibs has been hamstrung with weak rosters. He took a team with MVP Rose and Keith Bogans starting at guard to the ECF. He won 50 games with four starters missing about 20 games each.

    I think he can win with girls. If management lets him do his thing.

    Leonard will turn into an all star with Thibs as coach. Mark my words. He's already decent on O and rebounding. He will be a beast after Thibs teaches him defense. Like he did with Omer Asik.

    Sounds like you are resigned to the fact that he is gone @Denny Crane?

    I am resigned to the fact that the team I love has the worst owner in the history of sports.

    The president of the team is focused on profits, not championships. The finances are run as if it is a small market team. It runs up enormous $66M yearly profits and they don't want to do anything that would reduce those by a penny.

    By the way, if you tag someone like I did above then do they get a notification? Could some tag me by typing @KeepOnRollin?

    Edit: I didn't get a notification when I tagged myself...

    No notification that time @Darkwebs but thanks for testing it out for me.

    What is the tagging feature for then @Denny Crane? Seems like it could be really useful (in theory if it worked how I was thinking it should)...
