The New Orleans Hornets have begun contract discussions with the representatives of Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Hornets general manager Jeff Bower has exchanged proposals with Creative Artists Agency, which represents Thibodeau, on parameters of a possible deal. Sources say Thibodeau still plans to meet with New Jersey Nets GM Rod Thorn about his coaching vacancy sometime before the start of the NBA Finals on Thursday. It’s unclear how close the Hornets and Thibodeau are on a possible agreement, but one thing seemed certain: Thibodeau still wants to stay in play for openings with the Nets and Chicago Bulls, and that could become a slippery slope for his candidacy in New Orleans.
Seems like Thibs has a job if he wants it... but he's trying to keep his options open.
Sounds like the dude who's got one girl... but not the girl he wants. He'll keep her around until the other one comes to her senses and realizes that all the flowers, candy, personally written songs, hours spent outside the bedroom window, the hundreds... and hundreds... and hundreds of portraits of her he painted in the dimly lit garage with James Blunt's "You're Beatiful" on loop, were all for her because I just KNOW were were supposed to BE together.....
... I'm sorry... what were we saying?
Oh... congrats Thibs.
