I disagree with the "Pels talking to Skiles to create leverage" talk.


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.

If we want Tom Thibodeau, JVG, or any other coach besides Hoiberg, he's ours.


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.

I agree with this.

I still don't see it, and I know you are more speaking of why others think that, because you obviously agree with me from what you said above. We have AD, some decent players around him, and a long list of coaches that would want the job. If a candidate is asking for too much money or power, tell them to take a hike. I don't think we need to actually interview Scott Skiles to show that there are other coaches interested in the position, and that we have other options.
