Tom Thibodeau coach/POBO on a five year deal. It feels weird to get the most sought after candidate on the market...

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Wouldn't mind a nice rebrand to go along with the coaching appointment. Good time for it.

Benderrrrrrrr

Colours, logo?? Don't go the way wizards, Hawks, raptors and Philly have and just have some stupid circle logo

Logo and court in particular. Agree on the circle logos. Would love to go the Chicago route with a bold, simplistic front-on wolf without the extra crap.

45-37 was his worst record with the Bulls in 5 years. In 26 years we have 5 records better than that.

Been a massive supporter of the wolves since 2000. I have a picture with mark madsen at the target centre back in 08. Finally excited that we now have the players and coach. Arrrrrrooooooo!!!

Just need a 3&D wing and a starting calibre stretch 4 and wow this team is great,

There are definitely risks involved with hiring him but as Zach Lowe put it, "If you can get Tom Thibodeau to coach your team, you get Tom Thibodeau to coach your team." Excited to see what he can do with this group.

Apparently thibs liked the way the Warriors way of "light" training. Hopefully he uses this and not run out players in the ground with injuries like he did at the Bulls. So pumped though haha

Thibs likes one way

Thibs is life.
Thibs is legion.
Shun the non-believers!

With what Thibs got out of Noah i cant wait to see him work with Towns

I don't really have high expectations, I just expect him to be considered the GOAT within five years

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

I'd expect that of him with Sam still coaching too.

why wait so long? 2

Needs a few years to get the Mitchell out of him. It's the same thing when you trade a player in from Melbourne, it takes a few years.

 

[stewie griffen]

You mean 12 months right

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Let's just all agree that he's already the GOAT.

He's a tough coach but he's also a coach that tends to get more out of his team than you'd expect given the players available to him. Chicago always seemed to have a record that was better than his personnel. If he can bring that to Minnesota then I see no reason why you won't be competing for a playoff birth in two seasons (particularly if the ping-pong balls fall in your favour).

You have the most exciting young talent in the league. Unless there was a team in the championship debate looking for a new coach, I think Minnesota was always going to be the most appealing choice for coaches.

For once I don't feel depressed supporting both the Dogs and the Timberwolves. It feels odd.

Any chance of us signing Durant?

Not enough cap space unless we jettison someone.
