It will be interesting to see what happens to this team this summer. Thibs is gone for sure, but what pieces are they looking to move to upgrade? Will they max out Butler knowing that it will eat up most of their flexibility? How much longer can they realistically go with a 35 year old Gasol, a seemingly rapidly-declining Noah, an increasingly average pg in Rose who is getting paid $19M or so, and a brand new system when Thibs is gone?I would hope they'd try to blow it up, but I don't see that happening.

I think they'll pass the buck and blame other people instead. Hold back their retooling process by a few years and probably waste the tail end of Noah's best years. Screw up the next few years of Jimmy Butler's career which will probably lead to a Butler trade demand towards the end of this big contract he's about to sign this summer. Pau needs to be moved to a bench role. First big decision for new head coach.

Pau needs to be moved to a bench role. First big decision for new head coach.As key of a decision D-Rose is, I think Noah is just as big. Noah is 30, but he's an oooold 30. And he's regressed massively on the offensive end under Thibs. His only saving grace is if the new coach can help gain back an offensive game while doing a lot better job managing his minutes. He's no longer a 35 minute a game player
I guess It's gonna be Diva vs Doc show ......oh boy
