Can we talk about Thibs tonight, or would that still be the "psychotic" thing to do?

The Thibs talk is much more of a pushback against those who argued and still argue that the Bull were insane to move on from him. The Timberwolves are just a byproduct of the discussion. Even if he were coaching the Albany Patroons we should still be having a conversation about his time as HC for the Bull as it directly caused the present.

And we need to talk more sports on this board.

It's very unlikely that this core stays in Minnesota for a decade. They might. Usually small market teams have a 5-6 year window to take their shot. Sacramento, OK City, etc.


If they miss out on that, it'll likely be a long time. Wade is gonna bring some good free agents to Chicago. That's why he's here.

Of course not. But you get another superstar here and you're a contender overnight. Wade will help with that. Who knows if the T Wolves will be ever be a contender. KAT, Wiggins, and Lavine are a good core to build around but it's still going to be very tough to win a title with that and by 2020 all or some of those guys could be gone.

Bottom line is neither one is close to being a title contender right now so of course it's smarter to take the much bigger market and the team with the best current player (Butler) between the two teams. It's possible Minnesota doesn't win a title in the next 30 years. The Bulls almost certainly will.

Towns is the best player.

I hear Hoiberg is top 2 coach in the league.

I'm not sure that Butler is even the best on the Bulls. I'm a lot more comfortable with Wade having the Ball during the 4th quarter. Butler struggles to get his own shot too often to be a No. 1 guy. I know about the whole "2 way" thing but it's obvious watching them that Wade is the better creator.

Have to give the guy credit in at least one regard.

He recognized very early on that Noah's role needed to be greatly reduced in order to move forward. And as much as it pained me (I'll always love the Bull's career of Joakim) and others, he was 100% correct.

Yeah I am a Noah guy too but it was time. He isn't giving the Knicks much. Being paid a nice dime also.

lol @ 26-6 bulls! esp coming off of a karl anthony towns videobyte about how "even this game" matters =P

Hats off to him for securing that contract, but damn has he fallen off a cliff.

As for Lopez, I never in my wildest dreams saw him contributing anything on the offensive end but he sure as hell has. It's crazy that the Knicks let him go considering he's exactly what they need right now.
