Thibodeau and Layden to Minnesotta

[Miggs]

Not worried about it. Towns will be played 38 minutes a game next year, miss 15 games due to injury the year after, and about 35 the season after that because Thibs kills his guys.

Maybe Layden could be enticed to bring a team to the RMR?

What has Scott Layden been doing the last few years?

But disrespected by the Utah Jazz. Strange how that went down.

Scott Layden was an assistant coach under Frank Layden, later became GM of the Jazz. Honestly, was a big-time hustler. Flipped Jeff Malone into Jeff Hornacek and pulled off the greatest what-if trade in Jazz history: What if Rony Seikaly hadn't been a lil bitch and actually come to play with the Jazz. Rony was no slouch and would have give the Jazz an offensive center.

Then he left for the Knicks where he promptly traded Patrick Ewing and signed Allan Houston to a $250 Million albatross.

Then he came back to the Jazz as an assistant coach.

Then Sloan left. And Ty Corbin took over.

Then DOL was hired.

Somewhere along the way Frank Layden got all butt-hurt that Scott Layden was passed over for both the GM and Head Coach positions. As if they were his birthright.

I personally don't think that Scott Layden was disrespected by the Jazz, rather that he is a totally known quantity and the Miller's weren't interested in more of the same. IMO they made the right choice.

Cool. Minnesota has a better coach than us now.

I wouldn't say better, more proven for sure. But thibs is likely flawed as a coach, unless his time off has taught him something about time management and workload.

He is certainly a great coach. But we're not certain quin will not be a great coach.

Roster management in Chicago was also horrible. I'm betting that played a role in the heavy minutes.

I like Quin, but I'd take Thibs over him any day.

I'll take any and all bets that Towns doesn't lead the league in minutes or go over 40 minutes a game. [MENTION=249]NAOS[/MENTION] [MENTION=253]King Cy[/MENTION]
