Tom Thibodeau has no interest, I'm told, in coaching Pelicans (feels Davis will leave when pact permits), Magic (Skiles on tap) or Nuggets.

That's ridiculous if he actually publically said that.

Also he is most likely in New Orleans for a very long time before its even a real consideration.

First, Peter Vecsey is hack who lost all nba relevance 20 years ago. He was Skip Bayless before they were giving those hacks their own tv shows. Just a few days ago his "sources" were still telling him Dumars was involved in our coaching search.

Second, Im positive Thibs understands basic nba contracts.

Third and most important imo, when JVG decided to go after the Pels job, Thibs was eliminated. Those two are way too close to go for the same job.

Thibs knew he was getting fired. JVG knew Thibs was getting fired. The fact this was the job JVG decided to go for after all these years, knowing Thibs was probably candidate, leads me to believe those two had to have had a conversation beforehand.

This makes no sense. So you don't want a job because AD will leave in a few years yet you're willing to take a job with no AD on the roster at all.

That kind of scorched earth leaking is a bit odd for the current propaganda cycle. My guess is he doesn't want the job for whatever reason, be it not competing with his mentor JVG or maybe he really wants to coach the Lakers, and his camp gave no reason for why he didn't want the job so Vescey's source, who could be the bitter car keying ex in Chicago for all we know, said "Why wouldn't he want to coach AD? He must think he's going to leave next year like everyone else on the Interwebz thinks. "

I have a hard time believing this, but I do think the coaching search comes down between JVG and Gentry.

He's awfully butthurt because we aren't interested. First his camp releases that we can't afford him then they say we're going to lose AD. Neither are true, just calm down

not sure what that says about my sources, though

@AntDavis23: SQUAD!!!!!

I guess that's why AD posted this on Twitter Wednesday. He may have heard what Thibs said and responded with this pic.

Thibs is just too much of a pussy to coach in the Western Conference. Nothing to see here.

bullshite! This dude knows AD will probably sign one of the healthiest contracts in the history of bball. That contract tenure will most likely be longer than Thib's next job.
