The hiring of Tom Thibodeau puts the Knicks rebuild ahead of the Bulls

Zach LaVine’s eyes lit up, as a smile came across his face.

Of course the Bulls guard was excited to talk about “my guy.’’

“[His] style works,’’ LaVine said back in February of the coach. “He’s not a beat-around-the-bush type of guy. This is just a guy that once you buy into his coaching, I mean look at the track record. It’s pretty damn good.’’

Unquestionably the biggest endorsement LaVine has given a head coach since arriving in Chicago back in 2017.

And unfortunately it wasn’t directed at his current one.

Heck, he wasn’t even talking about his former Bulls coach in Fred Hoiberg.
