Chisoxfn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 28, 2015 -> 09:19 AM) I think it's all a bunch of nonsense. I think it's the obvious stuff - Thibs wants control of minutes and demands a lot from players, the front office wants him to relalx and be more like Pop. That's some basic, fundamental disagreements about how to run a team that is going to cause some division in the organization. Any notion though that the Bulls want Thibs out is, IMO, a media-driven story and nothing more. I agree with you and I think Taj, Noah and Rose are going to get everyone on the same page, the Thibbs page. I'm really liking what I've been seeing out of Rose on the court and it said a lot how he's responded since making his comments (cause they could have just as easily back fired on him).

Kyyle23 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cowley has been pounding the "Thibs will be gone next year/discord with the FO/discord with Reinsdorf" story all season, since FIBA. Its not going away because he wont let it. Paxson even had "loud conversation" with him and KC Johnson this past week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Cowley is complete and utter trash. It sickens me how much this gets talked about because it is impossible for players not to listen to it and for Thibbs voice not to be a little sabotaged because of these reports. Because of them, there is always that little bit of doubt in a players mind and it sucks. I'm glad Paxson came out so strong after Van Gundy's statements. I wish the Bulls would throw a few mill Thibbs way to shut all of it up. This team is good enough that the money spent telling everyone, see, we told you he was our guy, would be so worth it in terms of wins / losses. Gar is a good GM, but his stupid freaking ego created this mess with the whole Ron Adams fiasco. Dumb. Get rid of one of the top assistants and piss off your head coach because he ran his mouth because he, like any coach, wanted to contend and wanted to win now (that is the job of a coach..to ask for the best team possible and try to put the best guys out there to win...the job of the GM is to control and construct the roster to the best interest of the franchise). Look at the mess you created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 If the Heat ever wanted to trade Deng, I'd like him in our lockeroom and alongside Rose and Butler. Probably wouldn't work out but I'd be interested and I don't think his contract is all that bad. I think Deng would be interested too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
