Interim is a 32 year old named Ryan Saunders.

Someone had to take the fall for the Butler deal.

All his bad work is not undone because they beat the Lakers without Lebron.

However, KAT has been playing better than ever before. Maybe Thibs had some value that just barely started to show.

Even though he was likely done at the end of the season, it's still weird ass timing. Apparently the Wolves want Fred Hoiberg and are scared UCLA will hire him, which...wow. Not sure I'm too excited for that one.

As for Thibs, he use to be a very good coach. But the league caught up to a lot of his principles and he's never adjusted and he's still quite stubborn about some of his worst tendencies. He said he was gonna be different and that he learned a lot in the year off he had between the Bulls and Wolves, but it never happened. He might get another NBA coaching gig but with his style and personality, I think he'd actually be a lot better suited as a college coach.

And lastly, maybe teams will FINALLY learn the lesson that you don't give your coach GM duties. It never works. Pop is the exception. It goes badly pretty much all the time

Surprised he didn't quit the day after Butler was traded on principle.

I am Surprised he was not fired the moment he ignored Butlers request so long that Butler took it to the media to force it.

Interesting, thought Thibs would have done better with the Wolves. That team seemed to be turning the corner last yr., wonder what they'll do now.

This is how you know Minn is being run by retards. Of all the times to fire him they chose now.

The T-Wolves should have waited until the season ended.

I don't agree, why give Thibs 4 more months to shoehorn in outdated basketball ideas? They should have let him go before the season started as soon as the Butler stuff got out of hand.

Favorite thing I have heard from Saunders practices is if you take a long 2 it counts as negative points.
