Really reckless of Phil to be running a Triangle workshop instead of at least reaching out to the best coach available.

Wow! In come places this is actually a good thing he is doing. Somehow implying negligence is comical.

65-164

That's Kurt Rambis' coaching record. Hiring him without interviewing a single legitimate candidate is complete and utter negligence.

Neither did Flip. Neither did a lot of guys. Thibs reputation is a tireless worker and they don't see things like other people. Type A over achievers don't relate well to others in an organization so its not a bad idea to let him mold the team as he sees fit. I doubt he and PHil would get along unless Thibs were to be a disciple of the triangle and really really really get behind it 2000%. I speak only from reading phils books to understand that he is not exactly easy to work with/for either.

Thibs said he wanted to be in NY but did he specify Nets or Knicks?? I assume knicks. Personally IM ok with promoting from within so if Rambis gets the gig, Im ok with it.

The Wiz a few years ago could not move forward with a very very young team. Its not easy.
This group in Minny ON PAPER has some great blue chips. I say Lavine should be traded. Keep Rubio. They need a glue guy with veteran leadership. "Iggy", "DLee", guys that are ok coming off the bench and can keep a locker room together. The young guys need leadership before they assume that role.
