Make this KATs team, let Thibs yell "ice" until he can't speak (3 days into training camp), and fight for a 7-8 seed. Jimmy can go average 24 on a lottery team and feud with his teammates.

Some part of the blame for the Wolves’ mess falls on Thibs. He’s brilliant as an assistant coach, as he was with the Celtics. But he runs his players into the ground as HC. The results are decent teams that will never win titles or even reach the Finals. Thibs is the anti-Popovich, who knows how to coax bodies through 82 games and be ready for the postseason. As every assistant on the Patriots has proven, some guys just aren’t head coaches, no matter how smart.
