Butler demonstrated that he deserved to play the second Deng was injured, yet somehow Thibs gets credit for developing him. Paxson the guy that identified him as a player with the last pick, somehow deserves no credit.

So I'll put you in Matches down for Thibs not being a good coach. I'll put you down for Paxson being a good GM.

I will clarify it for you. Paxson should be launched. He shouldnt not be allowed an opportunity to rebuild a team after being on the job for about 13 yrs. However he should be given credit for his first rebuild. The Bulls were in the bottom 3 franchises at the time took over. Absolute mess. He helped build that contending team. It was well known that Bulls were easily among the top jobs at the time Thibs took over.

I just don't think that Paxson gets any credit for the job that he did earlier. Conversely I believe that Thibs has received too much credit for really not doing much. He has only been to one conf. Finals yet he is a top 2 coach? Based on what?

Who said he was top 2?

Where would you all rank Thibs?

Kerr.
Pop
Doc
Lue
Carlisle
Atlanta coach
Clifford
Stan Van Gundy
Stotts
Hornacek
Stephens

All better in my opinion.

1. Poppovich
2. Kerr
3. Idk... Carlisle or Thibs... Toss up.

On a side note... Brad Stevens has to be a top 10 coach right?

All the points you earned by your thoughts on the finals just went out the window.

There is no way in hell all those guys are better than Thibs. That is just stupid.

I think we're overrating Kerr.

But not Thibs?

Where would you rank?

I don't know if we can really answer that at the moment considering he's been out of the league for a year.

That being said, I'd go Popp, Carlisle, Kerr, Lue, Casey and Stevens before Thibs at the very least.

He gets all the credit in the world for his defensive schemes, there's no questioning that, but he severely lacked in the offensive department as well as minutes management.

Dunn is a great pick. I didn't expect him to there at 5... Willing defender, so you know Thibs is all about this guy being his PG over Rubio.

It's early. It's summer league but Kris Dunn looks like he is going to be a player. Matched up with Mudiay and more than held his own. Big guard quick off the bounce and defends. Rubio can pack his bags at some point this season.
