I totally understand changing your mind and becoming more informed. It's a good thing. I just think it's funny people make those rash judgments and panic before actually attempting to look into it. Nonetheless I have some reservations about Skiles(as I probably would with any coach) but I think he will yield positive results. In the end that's all I really want, constant positive results. Hopefully that leads us to a championship whether Skiles is the guy or the guy who helped create the foundation.

It's pretty funny the turnover this board has sometimes. At first it was PANIC I can't believe we would hire Skiles and now it's guys relax Skiles will turn this team around.

Forgive my ignorance but I can't decipher what that twitter post is saying.

So the Magic........

What are his downfalls basketball wise? Does he wear on players management or both?

I think this might work out but I'd like to draft Mario but I'm not sure Smiles and Mario mesh real well.

This is exactly what I was speaking on yesterday. If the Bulls expect to trade Thibs they better hurry up before teams start to look elsewhere.

Care to share the evidence?

When was the last time an athletic white guy came into the league and kept up with expectations? Real question. From highlights the guy looks like exactly what we need. He reminds me of mickael pietrus before the wrist injury and ultimate chucking!

Ok....Now that Ive caught up I will flood the board. If this kid is so great why is he burried on the bench? Talent ALWAYS outweighs ego.

Well it would have to be draft picks for next year being that he hasn't been granted the ability to interview anywhere. Even so though what does that have to do with the process not being started yet? There isn't a certain date they can trade for draft picks. Could of possibly got picks for this draft.(maybe it will be announced tonight) Still seems slow for how desperate they supposedly are to get rid of him.

My question is, if the Bulls wanted to get rid of Thibs so badly why haven't they? They don't want to pay him the 9 million to fire him right? So why haven't they granted interviews yet. I'm not sure I can think of a reason for them to wait being that it also slows down their next coaching hire.

I get the whole best available and all that but at the same time I want perfect. I dont want someone with limitations. I get that's impossible but Tom's offense and use of players scares the hell out of me. Will he make our team better? No doubt. Will he win us a championship? Maybe. In the end the championship is all that matters to me. What reservations did people have when Stan was hired? I wasnt around the forum back then.

Stop....You know very well I was referring to someone who would be apart of our future. At this point Frye's contract is meaningless and this time next year we will care less.

We need to overpay someone eventually. Is he worth it? I haven't paid much attention to him.

I've watched enough of Wood on one of my teams...Please not the magic too. (Thanks for the heads up. Worked all day and hung out with a buddy after work so I didnt hear the news of him declaring. Suck for UNLV would of had a top MWC team if he would of stayed) :panicworker:/>

1.Malone 2.Gentry 3.Brooks Positive outlook with any of those three.

Although I agree Rose is as soft as tissue it's pretty well documented Thibs is a monster when it comes to pushing his players and sometimes it may be too much. This is a quote from Richard Hamilton, a veteran who has been around for quite some time. Butler Gibson Noah and Rose have all missed significant time within the last few years.

Although I don't see this happening I'd love it(With or without Cousins). I wanted Malone before we hired Vaughn. As far as Jackson is concerned I really cant wrap my mind around how anyone would/could want him here. He easily had superior talent at GS and it still didn't work out. How exactly would we benefit here when we wouldn't reach the level GS did under him simply because we don't possess the assets that GS had?

The same people that complain about Gordon are the same people that expect Oladipo to be some top 10 player in the league. We have been so lucky in the draft before I don't think people realize how rare it is to draft a team changing player no matter the pick especially within the first few years of their careers. Those players are few and far in between.

The playoffs start in a few hours and we aren't in them again this year. I cant take this next year. I miss the excitement of a 7 game series!

Just to add his ankles were what looked like to be completely and utterly demolished. I personally didnt see his ankle issues theoretically disappearing.

I've tried to look on basketball reference(a couple times) but couldn't get the options right to find out how many minutes they've played together this season. Anyone care to enlighten me? Edit: Of course I ask the question and find the answer after looking 3-4 times already. 69:27 all season. 9th most minutes out of all lineups. Kind of disappointing being that this is the lineup everyone wanted to see together the most.

Here are his percentages from 5 other consecutive games. 64% FG, 75% 3P 63% FG, 75% 3P 41% FG, 33% 3P 38% FG, 33% 3P 50% FG, 50% 3P 51% FG, 53% 3P. See how that works?
