Not sure who that writer is, but I'm slowly warming up to the Thibs idea. I had 3 moves listed on a previous post for playoff appearance next year-Buddy, strong free agent defender, and new coach.

I don't feel like Ingram will be the answer. I like his game and feel he could be a star player, but I still 100% prefer Ben Simmons. His size, athleticism, frame, ability to rebound and take the ball coast to coast is unbelievable for a 6'10"+ kid. I believe, given the right situation, he could be the muscle needed at PF for the future.
Starting Line up of
Rubio, LaVine, Wiggins, Simmons, KAT is not only lengthy, but every single player can handle the rock in a fast paced offense.
#1 Get Lucky, draft Simmons
#2. Fire Sam Mitchell and hire Sam Cassell
#3. Restructure KG to 3 Mil max
#4. Sign Gerald Henderson
#5. Sign John Henson
Rubio, Jones, Draft PG
LaVine, Henderson
Wiggins, Shabazz, Bjelica
Simmons, Henson, KG
KAT, Dieng, Pekovic

You can't restructure contracts in the NBA
Henson signed an extension with the Bucks last summer and that 4 year deal kicks in starting next season.
I like Henderson I'd like a bigger guy or one with more 3 point shooting prowess but the dude can play and is tough although he has had some trouble staying healthy in the past.
