Sources: Williams to become Hornets coach
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports
1 hour, 50 minutes ago

Email Print After pulling an offer to Tom Thibodeau, the New Orleans Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers assistant Monty Williams have agreed to the framework of a three-year contract for him to become the team’s head coach, a source briefed on the talks told Yahoo! Sports.

Hornets GM Jeff Bower abandoned his courtship of Thibodeau, a Boston Celtics assistant, on Friday afternoon, and entered into discussions with Williams to take the job. The source says the three years of the contract are guaranteed and the team will hold a fourth-year option.

Hornets star Chris Paul was a strong advocate for Williams’ hire, and sources say he was hoping Bower would turn to the Blazers’ respected assistant.

Thibodeau was the Hornets’ top candidate for the job, but had always preferred to fill the Chicago Bulls’ vacancy. He met with Bulls officials in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, and is now waiting on an offer from the team. The New Jersey Nets also have spoken with Thibodeau, but aren’t expected to hire a coach until after the NBA Finals.

Great job by Monty. Interesting that the big names, Ew and Jax still aren't making that jump.

Does this help or hurt Lebron to Chicago?

If your talking about Thibs being hired I think it helps Chicago. Thibs has received high praise from some of the NBA's elite players and is known for working his players and having a great defense. Regardless if it helps get LeBron, Thibs is a great hire in my opinion. Here is a quote about an association Thibs has with LBJ's agent:

Thibodeau's association with Creative Artists Agency, under whose umbrella LeBron James' respected agent, Leon Rose, sits, will do nothing to quell speculation James is headed to the Bulls in free agency.
