Damn.

[RagaZ]

Judas.

[Levity]

bulls say no?

however, it would be interesting to see what thibs can do for wes johnson or bazemore defensively. but hed puke at the thought of the rest of the lakers roster.

[Fudge]

Oh shit.


Nah, Thibs ain't leaving the Bulls. They'll be contenders next season while L.A is...rebuilding?

[16X]

Sweet.

[IncarceratedBob]

It's sad how much the Lakers have fallen. They're begging for permission to interview another teams coach..how sad.

[dazzer87]

Why would he leave a playoff team to join an lottery team???

Isn't that a legal requirement

Thibs would be my first choice. I love his old school, hard nosed, no bs, passion for the game. could not imagine Pau at this stage in his career and defensive weakness working out well with him. We got the wrong Gasol for that coach.

Kobe's knees would be ****ed with Thibs running shit

[Cold soul]

Thibs would be terrific pickup but I highly doubt he leaves Chicago for the Lakers.

Extreme emphasis on D with Brown.... followed by his antithesis in D'Antoni, Followed by another defense first coach in Thibs.

[D-Rose]

Would be the 100% absolute grand slam hire. Doubt it happens though.

Thibs could get Melo to follow...

[gts]

Could be smoke and mirrors from El Segundo...

Could be a way of making Melo rethinking a possible move to Chicago...

The only answer for the Bulls is no...
