He admitted having the POBO position and coaching spot were an issue looking back. I hated the Dunn pick but gave him time... after the Butler trade I was on cloud 9... but then the Rubio move happened and the cap space freed up went to Teague and Gibson... Thibs was desperate to win immediately. Dealing Wiggins instead of LaVine and then keeping Rubio might have changed the outcome on his tenure.. then again I don't think KAT and Butler are a mix so perhaps he ends up dealing KAT to someone, who knows. Rubio/LaVine/Roco/???/KAT wouldn't have looked too bad either.
" Rubio/LaVine/Roco/???/KAT" Ya, if you like #11 seeds. Unless ??? Is a superstar, ish!
Yeah I don't know how the lineup would have worked out but i'm assuming that's a good player in there. 11th seed is 8 games below 500... the Wolves finished 10 games below 500 last year so I don't think it's unrealistic to think that lineup could have done better.
I'm never going to blame Thibs for trading Lavine away instead of Wiggins. It was a no brainer at the time.

I get it... I was just discussing ways maybe he's still here instead of fucking things up badly.

He will have the Knicks in the playoffs before the Wolves announce their next HC.

The Knicks play in the easy East so nothing they do can compare to the Wolves except for the fact both teams hire shitty coaches.

The won't play a game before we have a new coach so that will be hard.

But I assure you he'll have the Knicks in the playoffs soon. If he has a say in personnel he will acquire tough hard workers who defend and attack the basket. He will prove you still win playing like that way. Then the Knicks will try to skip a step and buy their way to the top against what Thibs wants, fire him, and be the dregs again in no time. Sound familiar? Proving again that Thibs is one of the best coaches of all time, wins with less than anyone else. and has the brutal misfortune to coach for the worst ownerships in history.

Sick of this excuse.

Please post all the years the Wolves would have made the playoffs in the East.

Remember when that lunatic thought defense was important? Then the fool ruined our plan to lose 15 years in a row to eventually win? Stupid lunatic. How could he not know you don't get better getting better. How does not letting the other team score help you outscore them? Plus everyone knows you don't get a lazy piece of shit in proper position by yelling at him where to go. :lol: You do it over nice lasagna where you offering him everything he wants to still not do it.

This guy is really going to embarrass all those Knicks fans when they have to watch him yell during those playoff games.

It's so much worse if you have the misfortune of sitting near the bench at the game.
