With a truly disrespectful public statement, the Chicago Bulls have moved on from the Tom Thibodeau era after months of privately dragging the head coach through the mud. Let’s all thank the basketball gods this finally got done, because it was a truly toxic situation to cover.
That being said, it is not a great time to be a Bulls fan.
This should vault Thibodeau to the top of two different team’s coaching wish list. The New Orleans Pelicans remain an interesting option for him due to Anthony Davis and the defensive improvements Thibs could bring to bear on that team, and the Orlando Magic could be an excellent fit as well.
