Tom Thibodeau trade

[Zulu]

Don't think you can involve players in a trade when a coach is involved... Plus doesn't Thibbs have to agree to going to the team.... If so it doesn't matter how much we offer if Thibbs wants LA...

But he could only go to LA with Chicago's permission.

Yah, all this is assuming that Thib wants to be with the Jazz and CHI wants rid of him....

Why would Chicago do this? Why would Thibs want to do this? I dont understand where all this thinking is coming from.

As long as the Bulls have both Noah and Rose, Both Thibs and the Bulls probably will want to stay together.

I dont see Thibs going anywhere.



I didn't mean to like the post above mine.

The front office and him are butting heads. They let his favorite assistant go and traded Deng away.

there is speculation that thibs and the bulls are reaching the end of their tether. apparently his drive-your-players-to-an-early-retirement approach to playing time isn't rubbing well with bulls' brass. i heard it on a podcast, but i've listened to so many lately i can't remember if it was simmons, lowe, harper or locke that said it. great sourcing, me.

Rumor has it LA is looking at him and speculations of offering compensation would be necessary. I'd imagine we could beat their offer. I'd be willing to go as high as the GSW pick and taking back Boozer (and sloanfeld).

I would do it in a heartbeat. Thibb's is a fantastic head coach with great defensive skills.

I'd also consider subtracting the gsw pick, but adding Kanter.

The Bulls would have to be stupid to lose Thibodeau. Even after the GM traded Deng and the Rose injury and everyone screamed TANK the team still makes the playoffs. The guy is a top-5 coach. Maybe even top-3.

Can't say I agree with this thread. I would not give up an asset to get a coach. I shouldn't say that, I'd give up JLIII, but beyond that type of asset, no. No way in He!1 do I give up an unprotected 1st round pick in 3 years, or even the 23rd pick in this years draft. There are other options, other guys can coach, just ask Terry Stotts and Budenholzer etc.. It's DL's job to know who these guys are. Give it time before you mortgage the next 5 years picks and Burks and Burke(insert your favorite player) + all your lunch money for Thibs.

On a side note, who won the fantasy league this year?

Agree. WE had a HOF coach for many years, but could never fill all the holes in the roster. Jazz need all the assets they can get. It will take drafts and trades to improve and tweak the roster. Not for one second do I believe just adding a top-4 player to the current mix will have the Jazz contending in 3-4-5 years. Other moves have to be made.
