I disagree with the "Pels talking to Skiles to create leverage" talk. I don't think there is a ton of genuine interest, but I do think it is the team during their due diligence.
We have Anthony Davis, what other leverage do we need? The only candidate that we share in common with another team is Gentry with the Bulls (that we know of), but that job isn't opened yet, and it's well documented that Hoiberg is their first choice. If we want Tom Thibodeau, JVG, or any other coach besides Hoiberg, he's ours.

I don't think the Pels are using Skiles as leverage, Skiles is using the Pels to get more money out of Orlando who probably offered him way less than the $7-$8 million they were rumored to be willing to pay Thibs. JVG would never buy Skiles as leverage against him, Thibs or Hoiberg could be different though.

The leverage isn't to gain acceptance of the potential new coach, it's to gain concessions on his demands for money and/or power.
