I wonder if that's why Thibs left Draymond Green open to hit 15 3's in that first game vs. warriors.

Eh, both were projects, Teague more so. He had potential, just never got there. Green has clearly overachieved.

It's their jobs to determine which "projects" will reach their potential.

One problem though is that another part of their jobs included keeping their coach happy even at the expense of finding the best players.

 

I could tolerate that for a while, but this year that got kinda excessive (hinrich).

I don't even know how to judge Thibs this season. It seems like there was a lot of "go f*** yourself" moments from thibs, and Hinrich was one of them.

 

And I don't know if I wouldn't feel the same way if I was Thibs.

Knicks fans want teh THIBS

 

it'd be funny if he wound up in the EAST again

 

 

until i hear anything concrete from anymore twitter or sports link. i would like to talk about something that been on my mind since the season ended.

 

the draft.

 

at their pick, who will the bulls select?? pg or center??

 

any other thoughts of other positions??

From what mocks I've seen, there won't be a pg or c worth a damn when the Bulls pick. I'm a big Rondae Hollis-Jefferson fan. Ideal wing size with freakish athleticism/length. He's got all-league defensive potential. Of course, his jumpshot/3-point shooting is lacking. I'd love it if the Bulls picked him.

i would like to add this, whomever the bulls have as an idea to coach, will have some input.

 

i like the possibility of the kids from kentucky-booker, utah-wright or even that kid from norte dame. i just see them have a real need at pg.

 

too bad they don't have their other 1 rounder which reverted back to the kings on the protected top 10.

 

on another topic, i really wonder if FH - will coach the team, i wonder who will be the assistants.

No way in hell Booker make it to #22. I forgot about Wright. Certainly wouldn't be a bad pick, as the Bulls do need a PG. You're right. We have to wait and see who the next coach is (hopefully he'll reveal what type of system he wants to run, etc) and we'll get a better feel of what type of player we hope to select.

Wright, RJ Hunter, Tyus Jones, and Rashad Vaughn in that order are the guys Im looking at. Hollis-Jefferson looks like a freak, but a freak without a 3 point shot. Based on what I've read about Hoiberg, we're gonna see a lot if 3 point shooting.

As a Bulls fan, I can't say that I hope this explodes in their face, but I hope Forman and Paxson are held accountable (on Christmas Eve, because it would be fitting) for letting a great Head Coach go if the immediate results (one season) don't make this look like a great move in hindsight.

Hoiberg heavily recruited Vaughn and Jones.

Meanwhile, maybe Iowa State is going after the Suns head coach. We do run the Association, ya know.

How Fred Hoiberg got to big for Iowa State

 

Didn't realize he was also a football player and was recruited by Nebraska/Osborne? What position? WR? S? QB?

 

 

He was previously working in the Minnesota Timberwolves front office, where former president of basketball operations David Kahn said Hoiberg was "on track to become president of an NBA team."

Has it been noted that Jeff Hornacek wants to coach in college? Is he disgruntled at Phoenix? He's done a pretty good job there. I hear the rumors swirling around here but I just don't see him going back to the college he walked onto 30 years ago as long as he's an NBA head coach.

QB I believe. He picked Isu over Arizona in basketball

It would be interesting to see what recruiting strategy he would take....following in the Hoiberg path of JC's and transfers and international signings or doing things more traditionally?

 

There's just not much of a track record.

 

One thing's for certain, in Iowa....where you have guys like Self or Roy Williams or Bo Ryan to compete with just for your best in-state players, then you're sharing the state with UNI, Drake, Creighton, Nebraska to an extent, you BETTER have a plan that extends outside the state (for example, more Chicago Public League players)...Milwaukee...KC...Minneapolis, St. Louis, etc.

Very true.....also not trying to swirl rumors around and maybe this was mentioned before. Apparently last off season the Warriors were interested in Hoiberg but he wasn't ready to leave so it ended quickly. I know a guy that works close to Hoiberg so if I happen to hear anything I'll pass it on but you guys will probably know before me!

Lol. Now I've read everything. This front office sad that Hinrich was played after they over paid the guy millions to be here.

Guys John Paxton literally cried that he traded away Hinrich to make space for lebron. He was not a Thibs creation.

Kirk Hinrich=Juan Uribe

 

Love him or hate him...very few "in between" opinions.

 

Reminds me of the Aaron Miles (god, he had a slew of minor league fanboys) debate when that trade was consummated.

 

How long has Miles been out of majors now?

I'm sure they were ecstatic that Hinrich was on the floor contributing nothing while McDermott and Snell rotted on the bench.

 

But hey, Paxson cried for reals

Some mocks say Cameron Payne could drop to the Bulls. I like him but the fact he played no good teams in college is a red flag.

I saw a mock that had Sam Dekker picked by the Bulls. I think that guy is getting better and better.

I don't think Dekker falls that far
