Thibodeau: Report Of Early Deal To Coach Knicks Is 'Ridiculous'

[TheBallDoLie]

Wrong, that rule only applies to players under the CBA (anti-tampering). Coaches are like any other employee of any other company, where they are free to discuss employment with another company, but will have to come to some agreement to end a contract.

100% false.

Thibs is not allowed to talk to other teams without permission from the Bulls. And even if he was to leave. Bulls would have to waive his non compete for him to be able to coach another team in the NBA within the next three years. He can't just leave and become another teams coach unless he is fired.

There's no doubt this story is complete BS. Guy who wrote it has no source other than his imagination.

Real GM seriously needs to ban that NY Knick guy. I'm thinking about never looking at the comments of these wiretaps against because that 1 guy posts random crazy theories that are only self-serving on every thread. Utterly ridiculous.

First the Knicks trolled every free agent for the next 4 years, now they are trolling for coaches.. The Knicks are a disgrace to the NBA..

So what if he is from Chicago? Ultimately he wants a championship and if that means going to another team, he will do it.

So true. And when the superstars all get together and try and pick a team to join to win a championship, they almost always pick one that's currently on pace for 31 wins and still owned by James Dolan.

Why is something I wrote in your signature???? Creep. Get rid of it.

Posting crazy delusional bs will get you sigged.

I'm sure Thibs is thinking "I wanna go to a team that's been out of the first round twice this century, has no assets, has James Dolan and has a cancer like Earl Smith."

Knicks are gonna sign Wilt Chamberlain

With the roster and draft picks they have incoming, I don't think the Knicks are in position to win a championship any time soon.
Plus, you'll have Dolan messing around with the team.

John Paxson is an idiot who is too thick headed to realize he's forcing out one of the best coaches in the league. I agree with Bill Simmons saying Thibodeau's last act of defiance will be willing this team into the playoffs and out of the lottery.

I like how the media is able to make up these ridiculous stories yet no one ever takes responsibility for it....isn't that fraud or something

You could use your ignore feature but if you do that you'll be missing some of the most entertaining posts in all of realgm.
