"To me, it's crazy. It's stupid," Deng said. "He's one of the best coaches in the league. If you get rid of someone like that, it's going to be a lot of rebuilding coming afterward. He just does such a good job in terms of structure and keeping everything tight. It's also how everything is organized. It allows a player to really focus and be at his best and everyone else in the locker room is held to a high standard to bring their best every day. Whatever your job is, Thibs will make sure you stay focused and on top of it."
