Should be announced as the next Timberwolves coach in the next few days. Talk about landing on your feet. Wish him all the best. Quote: The Minnesota Timberwolves and former Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau are closing in on a five-year contract in the $10 million range annually for him to become their new coach and president of basketball operations, sources tell ESPN's Marc Stein.
As part of the reorganization, San Antonio Spurs general manager Scott Layden would become the Timberwolves' GM, Yahoo! Sports is reporting. |

He has to deliver. Not sure his message can be the same when he's buying the groceries too. We'll see. |

I think he loses some trust in the locker room though because of his titles. |

I dunno, the Timberwolves might be unturnaroundable, even for Thibs. |

This hire is going to make Paxson look even worse than he already does--starting next season and continuing for a long time. |

They have back to back RoY's, #5 pick, at least 20 mins in cap space and a lot of young talent. If everyone stays healthy Thibs should send Paxson a card. |

I am a Bulls fan first, but they have not exactly been fan friendly. I am hoping for the bottom to drop out so that the heeling can begin. |

Whoa, didn't realize how many assets the T-Wolves had stocked up. Kinda wish Minnesota was in our division now instead of Portland and Utah's. |

I think he'll do well but I think you have to question just how hard he runs his team during the season. |

And now he's taken them right back to A  I do wonder why this criticism never gets made of the front office, particularly given how much that particular idea was used to justify the dismissals of Skiles and Thibodeau. |

The Bulls front office has been heavily criticized this year, and Paxson in particular. It's basically just Bernstein and KC now that will still blindly defend him. |

Bernstein is throwing Gar under the bus. Paxson is a "smart" guy and should run the team according to Dan. |

The Grizz have been my backup team for a long time. Good backup team. Especially now that they play nothing but backups. |

Right but the specific "A to B" point is only ever made of coaches, never of front offices like the Bulls. Same goes for "x years is a long time to coach without winning anything," as Paxson's apparent lifetime appointment contradicts the applicability of this argument to management. |
