I'm surprised it happened this far into the season. There's speculation that Fred Hoiberg could replace him. That'd be downright bizarre if he replaced Thibs in 2 jobs in a row.
And after they traded Butler - it seemed they chose Thibs over Butler.
I wonder if SVG would get any consideration as a coach only. Tolliver is there to put in a good for for him. And maybe SVG would want some current Pistons he acquired/gave contracts out to as shotcaller here.
I don't think they chose Thibs over Butler.
This isn't a Magic Johnson/Paul Westhead type situation, where Magic gave an ultimatum with respect to the coach. Butler wanted out regardless of who the coach was.
