"Traumatic era"
"Difficult 3 years"
"When he was let go, I felt like a bunch of people got out of prison"
"I don't have any sympathy for someone who treats people so poorly"
"Treated long-time members of the organization like crap" (specifically mentioned Director of Security, broadcasters, most behind the scenes staffers.) Apparently Thibs was paranoid his assistants might be leaking information to the broadcasting team, which is wild considering how homeriffic they usually are.

He also refused to talk to certain players (names Tyus Jones specifically) that he wouldn't talk to personally and refused to say even cursory positive things about.

Made zero effort to try and even be decent to anyone who didn't come over from Chicago and had no problem alienating everyone else. Also brings up the fact that Thibs has no idea how to build up a young team, as he never had to do in Chicago.

Now I'm mad this didn't happen as soon as the Butler trade was finalized.
