Wolves in negotiations to make Tom Thibodeau coach

[Tr1boy]

5 year 10 million dollar deal in the works (that's it?) Or is it 10  a year

Lavine and Wiggins better start mentally preparing for this

[Smart457]

Them are gonna be some scared wolves but that team is going to be really good.

[TA9]

He obviously did a great job with the Bulls, hence why it would be interesting to see what he could do with Timberwolves.
Like you said; the guys on that team better start preparing for Thibs if he gets hired. The intensity should be through the roof with Thibs and KG on the same team.

Well, even more reason to get Towns and Wiggins on your fantasy teams because they're going to be playing 44 minutes each night.

From what I read on SportsCenter, it's coach AND GM.

Very interesting move. There's a ton of raw talent in Minny and here comes a coach who's established himself as a great defensive mind.

You think he'll sign Joakim Noah in the summer?

wow that is interesting. It's like all former Celtics coaching staff gets to be head coach and GM at the same time. Interesting to see Thibs duke it out with Doc 4 times a year. I honestly think Thibs did a great job in Chicago, sucks that they decided to let him go. Interested in seeing how he does in Minny with KG by his side.

That's what coaches do these days to make sure they don't get fired to easily

Has Thibs ever shown ANY aptitude for being a GM?  Doc hasn't exactly been a candidate for executive of the year with the Clippers.

How long before the Noah to Wolves rumors start?

[Snakehead]

There will be GM dedicated to that position, Scott Layden.  Thibs just has oversight it sounds like.

Bright future in Minny I feel like.

[Evantime34]

I really like this move. He's going to turn those great athletes into an excellent defense.

I'm curious if they will make a win now move on draft night, because Thibbs doesn't strike me as a guy who is comfortable waiting.

Yes, similar arrangement in Detroit, with SVG working above/with Jeff Bower.

[the TRUTH]

Congrats to Thibs - great move for the Twolves. If he can get those athletic players to really commit to playing defense at a high level, and I think he can, they should be greatly improved.

[Kane3387]

Good fit. Wolves have the youth to withstand Thibs grind, talent to be successful, and intangibles to execute his style. Interesting to see who runs point next year with Rubio and Lavine. Thibs has been good with PGs. If wolves draft another wing with their pick than I would move Rubio.


Hope this means another year of KG.
