INTERESTING!

I refuse to ever get excited about our Kings, because something always poops on my optimism (that something being the regular season) but....

I can still get.... INTERESTED!

Do all you can Rudy boogie rondo to put you're best foot forward and make a positive impression.

He should want to work with you 3. Especially you boogie. Do all you can to leave him pondering this.

Actually, instead of just laughing off the notion that it's Karl's idea, think about it a minute. What better way to give lip service to the "You need to focus more on defense" mandate than to invite a coach known for defense to "share ideas"?

It fits with my image of Karl's ego perfectly. What I'm hoping for is that Thibs plays along while laying the groundwork for a hostile takeover. :p

James Ham weighs in:

James Ham ‏@James_Ham 19m19 minutes ago
Thibodeau is acting in a consultant role. He has done similar things with other teams around the league. This is not a hostile takeover.

James Ham ‏@James_Ham 18m18 minutes ago
The Kings need help on defense. Thibodeau is one of the best defensive coaches in the NBA. It makes sense to hear some ideas from him.

James Ham ‏@James_Ham 16m16 minutes ago
It should also be noted that Thibs has ties to Cousins and Gay with Team USA, Rondo from time in Boston and Belinelli with the Bulls.

NOTE: I don't care what Ham says. I'm going to cling to the "hostile takeover" theory I posited earlier for as long as I can. :p

You know Thibs just being around makes me happy.

I'm not sure what to make with all of this though.

Maybe this helps him with potential bid wars later, maybe he truly has some interest in the city/franchise.

Who knows, but this is good news.
