Great move for both. Assuming Durant moves to the East they're lined up to be the third best team in the West within two years.

    Has there ever been a more over rated trio than Thibedough, Derrick Rose, and the Bulls of this decade?

    One finals loss is better than no finals loss.

    Close, but the Bulls win!

    Yeah but did they get a hot blaazing Kube 93 exclusive track when they won the conference?

    The Thunder have been rated 100 higher than the Bulls though.

    All I heard when Lebron was at Miami was that the Bulls were going to take them out. Lebron got them both

    DRose getting injured is not the same as being overrated.

    Lebron brutalized Rose when Rose was the healthy MVP in the play offs.

    So peak Lebron beating the Bulls in one series makes Thibs overrated? Just not seeing it.

    Lebron never got Rose and the Bulls' best shot Rose's MVP year. I forgot how much people dick ride Lebron on this site, but Rose's knee injury is akin to Penny going down with the Magic.

    They were incredible talents, but when the knees and everything else started popping, it never was the same.

    Talk shit on Thibbs all you want, who were his big 3? A busted Rose, and aging Gasol, and Luol Deng? Thank god he developed Butler into an All-star. The West is locked up by the Warriors for the next 5 years, but the T-wolves have a chance to make noise and take over after that if they play their cards right. Their off to a good start.

    Penny's a good comp, along with Grant Hill. Sometimes guys just get injured and we? never get to see their best shot at the ring.

    Kind of true. He was always an AAU bitch though. He won his MVP award because the Bulls had a dominant defense and let him have free reign on offense.

    Just to be clear, I meant that I don't think Thibs is overrated. Rose was good, but never at that Lebron tier.

    Rose was healthy when Lebron took over on defense against him in the 4th quarter and shut him down and won the series.

    Thibs never won shit. Doog fucking legend. Off season champs. NO natty

    That's why when he gets fired the same squad misses the playoffs. If coaching matters, that's proof right there.

    If you want to argue he is the NBA equivalent to 7-6 or Mike Riley does more with less, then i'll listen a little more.

    As of right now, I see a guy who never missed the playoffs and did it with a broken shell of a #1, a past his prime #2, and a hodge podge of who? All while battling the front office.

    Harbaugh:49ers is Thibs: Bulls.

    I'm excited to see him with young talent and control. LIPO.

    Rose doesn't play anymore

    He'll break down and injure the Wolves young talent and choke in the playoffs

    Same movie different town.

    This how I know you weren't alive for the George Karl Sonics

    I guess we'll see. It's easy to run the east with a generational talent like Lebron, but Thibbs has some promising pieces to lay his legacy or not. Wiggins and Towns are top tier potential. Lavine isn't that good and it will be the interesting to see what he decides to do with that piece of the puzzle.

    I truly feel like the 3-4 year drama of is Rose going to be Rose again really hamstrung the development of his program. Having an in his prime years former MVP underperform/not play at all is a very tough situation to navigate. Imagine if Durant never returned to form this season. How long do you sit on that investment? It was pretty clear from Thibs media interactions he was over DRose well before the front office was.

    In a players league, that's tough to handle.

    If there was ever a league that deserved the motto "jimmies and Joe's over X's and O's" it's the NBA. Thibbs never had a bonafide superstar (functional and healthy) and still made it every year. As soon as he is replaced because of off the court beef with the front office, the franchise tanks.

    He clearly has a positive impact. With personnel control and a young talented roster, he'll write his story in the next 3 years.

    Rose was really young back then. I remember LeBron getting punked by the Celtics a few times.

    I think Rose was always kind of overrated. He took a ton of shots and it was fine because the Bulls had the best defense, but I don't consider him a loser because LeBron on the Heat dominated him. LeBron was in his prime.

    Towns was unbelievably good for a 19 year old. There is nothing he can't do and it's not like the league is full of good bigs. He will be the best center in the league within the next year or two.

    The Wolves are intriguing and Thibs can make any team great on D. It's a great hire imo.
