Timberwolves are a dumpster fire. Cosigned.

Perennial losers.

Yea but we won finch’s heart

...ok? Will it make much difference? Probably not. KAT is a paper tiger. And that Russell for Wiggins/FRP deal looking worse by the day...

I wasn't even aware you could hire a coach from someone else's staff in the middle of the season

Wolves would have had to ask permission to talk to Finch, so assume Nurse agreed. He doesn't stand in the way of his assistants moving up. Should be some compensation coming from the Wolves to the Raptors.
Everybody is losing their freaking minds. Nutbars and wingnuts have infested this forum. We've become a public lavatory without cleaning staff.

He went from probably like a 5 figure salary to 7 figures. Easy choice.

That sucks but he’s not really home grown. We hired him this past offseason. We still got Griffin.

If you're an assistant, you do not turn down one of the 30 head coaching jobs in the NBA.

The Nurse coaching tree continues to grow.

It’s a dead end job! If I’m an assistant who is competitive and wants to win, timberwolves is one of the last place I want to coach for, along with the Pistons, Cavs and Kings. Continual lottery team who can’t win even with THREE first overall picks in the last few years.....

Time for Nurse to call up one of his buddies from his days coaching scrubs somewhere, that guy will be a future head coach as well

Chris Finch was supposed to be like the Matt Thomas whisperer. He was supposed to implement some sort of schemes that he did with JJ Redick in New Orleans...

Well that didn't work out at all!!

A competitive and knowledgeable coach might view one of situations differently. Maybe they think they can change a ton schemes or whatever that might have a big influence with the results
