Tom Thibodeau dismissed rumors of a rift between himself and Gar Forman over the Chicago Bulls’ decision to part ways with lead assistant Ron Adams.

"People are going to read into things the way they want to," Thibodeau said. "We’re fine. We’re both thinking about next season and all we can do to win."

Forman also tried to dispel rumors of discord.

"We're in constant communication," Forman said last week during the Vegas Summer League. "We have a high level of communication and I think a high level of trust and we continue to work together to try to make this team the best that it can be. Our working relationship has been good and continues to be good and we continue to communicate on the things we feel we need to do in order to continue to improve."
