I was actually thinking about us and the triangle after Fisher got fired. Seems like our Roster would be well suited to triangle sets with good coaching. I know that Rambis caused some trauma and I am in no way advocating a Fisher hiring. But I love the idea of Kat Wiggins and Lavine learning the nuances of triangle sets. Bazz too with his ability to post.

The triangle was a bad fit for Flynn and would be way worse for Rubio. Not against running it though.

Thinking about this more. This team is buitl for the triangle outside of Rubio. I always thought it worked better without a PNR PG. LaVine might be able to play PG in this offense. Towns would be great. I think Belly would be too. Interesting idea. If we had another wing I could see it. I think if you comiited to it you would have to move Shabazz for sure.

Rubio's a fine fit in whatever offense primarily because of his basketball IQ, passing ability and willingness to do whatever's asked of him. I think fans and media alike get caught up in thinking a player has to be exactly this and that to play within a certain scheme. That's not how (good) coaches operate.

Not to mention, Phil Jackson's practically synonymous with the triangle offense and he has had interest in both Rajon Rondo and Ricky Rubio over the course of a year. Two players that most people think are incapable of playing in a triangle dominant offense.

Rondo didn't want any part of it, but Jackson had this to say.

Phil Jackson: Rajon Rondo's comment about not wanting to play in the triangle is "laughable because all players can fit in a sound offense."

I agree with this. Rubio might not shine but the triangle action could be used to immediately send Rubio to his highest % shooting spot. But I think the point with Thibs in the video Cam posted is that he incorporates at lot of Triangle, not that he would run an offense based exclusively on triangle sets. One way or another if Wiggins seems adept at running out of the post, and clearly KAT has multiple actions he can run from the post, well run triangle sets would work really well with Bazz and Lavine as cutters. For the most part Rubio could still do his thing but at least there would be a clearly direction of ball movement when Rubio wasn't on the floor.

Adelman ran a bunch of corner offense sets, which is triangle-ish in that the offense was initiated by tossing the ball into a big at the elbow-extended. Every NBA team still ends up resorting to pick and roll if their initial set doesn't yield a good shot. Towns and Dieng are great options operating out of the high post.
