Article feels really dramatic. I have no doubt Thibs isn’t a great communicator, but I attribute his less consistent PT to:
1. Rose coming off of a significant injury, and wanting to let him shake the rust off in spurts and not overwhelm anything. 2. Last few games he hasn’t been shooting well. 3. Yes, Jalen Brunson is taking up more minutes and importance at PG. With Payton and Kemba as our PGs, Rose became extremely important. His role is naturally reduced just by picking up a true starting quality PG.
I think it’s pretty clear IQ is not a real PG, so having Rose with the 2nd unit is critical. Overall I think he’s played pretty well in his minutes, and his shot was looking great before the last couple of games. I really doubt he falls completely out of the rotation unless things really fall apart.

Trade him to a contender. This team has different priorities with him and if they aren’t going to utilize him then get him out and spread his 5 minutes to other players.
