(Updates) Fri, 22 May 2009 15:42:31 +0000 http://www.reclinergm.com/?p=5785#comment-16635 [...] Tom Thibodeau - This is the guy that intrigues me the most because of his defensive focus, pedigree and strong history of results with stout defensive teams.  He has 19 years coaching experience as a coach under some good head coaching names.  When Ed Stefanski was asked specifically about Thibodeau his response was: “I’m not getting into any names.  I know who Tom Thibodeau is. I know who every assistant coach is. I’m not getting into any names.” [...] [...] Tom Thibodeau – This is the guy that intrigues me the most because of his defensive focus, pedigree and strong history of results with stout defensive teams.  He has 19 years coaching experience as a coach under some good head coaching names.  When Ed Stefanski was asked specifically about Thibodeau his response was: “I’m not getting into any names.  I know who Tom Thibodeau is.

For what?  Maybe, HUGE maybe they get to the conference finals at best.  I want players maturing into their prime or coming off the books when Dalembert, Willie and Reggie come off the books so when we add a critical piece(s) that/those acquisitions are coming to a team that legitimately is only one or two player away. <strong>Pass on this scenario.</strong> Billups like influence = winning, a lot of it.  What has Davis won?  6 playoff appearances made it out of the first round 3 times.  Eh.  Overrated as a leader, has accomplished less than Allen Iverson in terms of winning and their games are similar.

As far as Davis, going back to his Charlotte and Golden St. days I always thought of him as a player better than his numbers and a guy ,at the end of games, was dangerous. If he is done physically than ,no, you don!t make this move. But, I feel, a lot of this teams up and down, laid back play comes from not having  a] a fiery coach and  b] a fiery p.g. leader and just think Davis!s personality and late game ,give me the ball and clear out attitude would be  a Billups like influence on this laid back group. But yes it would be risky.
