Seeing NO without him is scary stuff. They have a deep team as well so he’s prolly going to be there at least all of next yr. It’ll be interesting if they make a deep run with a healthy him & fall short. That’s gonna be tough to walk away from.
This yr should be giving Obi those minutes he’s owed. Keep the kids & take out the trash.
Thibbs is crazy & clearly has major flaws but numbers don’t lie. He’s a winning coach. If nothing else he’s installed some culture for Johnny Bryant to adopt and make better.
If they can’t get over Brunson, I hope they keep the other 3 guards still. IQ won’t have to do any pging next yr but he can if needed. He can continue to build that trade value if one or more of the youts need to be dealt.
Don’t necessarily see the rush to pay a guy that money when they have something brewing but this city, & coach for that matter, don’t have much patience at all.
