Well we know Payton stinks. Hopefully the young guys finally step it up and take their spots/minutes by force. I’d be ecstatic if the rotations (by earning it) ended up being:
Frank-Quickley-RJ-Obi-Mitch
DSJ-Burks-Iggy-Knox-Noel
Payton-Rivers-Bullock-Randle-Spellman
That’s sort of what we’re hoping for is the young guns just taking over and giving Thibs no choice but to bury the vets. No more excuses time for these kids to grow a pair and take it.
If Frank/Dennis in contract years cannot get minutes ahead of what you guys believe to be completely trash players, that's on them.

Lets see, I haven't seen him play too much. Dotson I have. The deal doesn't tell me much to be honest. I didn't think multiple teams would be in a bidding war over Rivers. He's a backup guard. Seems like a good deal for both sides. He could up playing backup guard here for a few years is I guess what the deal tells me.
I’d put Stevens up there before Thibs. Based on what they had to work with. Rose and Butler alone are better than anything Stevens has worked with to this point
Guess it depends how lenient you are with that elite tag. I’m putting Pop, Spo, Carlisle, Kerr (have to) in there for sure. Stevens is a fringe guy, and Nurse I think will be in that elite class. Mike B, as well. Should I capitolize anything for emphasis?

Did you miss what the Bulls were still able to accomplish without Rose? Butler wasn’t a star yet.
If it’s solely about doing more with less, then why are Popovich, Spo, Carlisle and Kerr on that list. They have championships, but look at the Spurs since Duncan retired, look at the Heat post LeBron/before Butler, Carlisle without Dirk or Doncic? Kerr is self explanatory.
He’s at least with Bud. My issue with Thibs is his time may have passed.

It’s not just about more with less
He brought up Stevens. Him and Thibs are similar, in results, without winning one. To be definitely elite, I’d say you need a ring. I don’t think Kerr is all that, but I can’t discount the results. He has something to do with it.
And I’d take all those guys easily over Stevens or Thibs, if I had a choice. It’s close between them, though

I think its safe to say Thibs legacy will ultimately come down to what happens here. He had a great run in Chicago, those teams consistently overachieved and they did it with defense. It's debatable, but Minnesota was something of a small disaster. So the fact that he's not considered to consensually be in the top bucket, that alone should serve to motivate him about this stint. Lets see. I have my issues with Thibs as many seem to do, but I'm certainly more excited about this coaching hire than our last 5. This is the time to be optimistic.
