Still crazy after all these years. “And I love that,” Jackson said. “I’d rather play with someone like him, who plays hard and gets hurt, than someone who is afraid.”
- SJAX regarding Manu
the formula for sucess
steal the spurs personnel
I wish the Spurs could trade scouts/executives' post it notes for Howard or Anderson.
GO SPURS GO!!!
Damn they always taking our personal
They can have that former Rockets exec idiot.
Sweep the leg, Johnny...
I wonder can we trade front office people for Dwight?
Well the guys in the Spurs front office have to say yes. Not sure they would given where the Spurs are at and where Orlando will be at for the next couple of years, especially if Dwight won't sign an extension this summer and gets the boot.
Anyone taking that job is set up to fail right off....dwight isn't staying and the first order of business is to trade franchise player and then endure years of rebuilding...not ideal. Hope our peeps stay put
Maybe not stealing but it has worked in the past.

Spurs have allowed Dennis Lindsay to interview for Phoenix, Minnesota and Toronto GM jobs - they'll allow him to interview for Orlando too. Worth nothing - Lindsay has pulled out of all three of the other searches when he was the favorite. He clearly is choosy about where he goes. All three of the other situations were messy and uncertain, and one has to feel that the Orlando job is not much different, given the deference given to Dwight Howard and the fact that he's poised to leave next summer. Lindsay may interview, but I'd be surprised if he took it.
If he is given some guarantee of longetivity, it could be a great situation -- get rid of the franchise headache and get to make things more or less from the bottom, but with pieces to work with.
Orlando can have Dennis Lindsey's sorry ass.
Seems like a high-risk, hign-reward gig. If you can ship Howard off for the right parts (high degree of difficulty) you have a lot to work with. You also have a bunch of other veterans that don't necessarily fit together as a team, so you may have to do a bunch of shuffling to make the pieces fit together.
Orlando also isn't exactly the best fanbase in the NBA, so you don't necessarily have fans that will wait out a rebuilding era -- if things go south, the franchise could have legit financial problems.
I was going to type exactly that. Thanks for saving me some typing
Number of championships won since Dennis Lindsey hired on June 19, 2007: 0.
Maybe one will be enough to get him to move.
"It's a new breed," Keeton said. "They're urban raccoons, and they're not afraid."
No, it's the opposite. Spurs front office wants to see their people promoted to GM jobs. Just means the next brightest person in line will come in and take their place because they know it's a stepping stone. The job is not attractive if you get the reputation of not letting people move up and out. Just like in business. And just like with assistant coaches too. You want them to be candidates for head coaching jobs.
Why so much hate for Dennis Lindsey?
Tbh OKC and Spurs are a byword for small-market success.
Money talks . . . if he gets to be paid much more in Orlando and is offered a long term contract, he's probably gone. But it will be a tough job rebuilding if Howard leaves. Perhaps he could do the Spurs a favour, like that Memphis Lakers executives; tbh the Spurs will need a a franchise player after Duncan retires.
Looks like Lindsey is out of the race:

The Orlando Magic are in advanced talks with Oklahoma City assistant GM Rob Hennigan to make him franchise's new GM, league sources tell Y!
hey he did help us find htown as a great trade partner for scola
I sort of assume Lindsey was at fault with not signing Scola but I have no proof of that. Why do people hate Lindsey? For some reason I have a bad opinion of him as well, but I realize it's not based on anything that I can directly attribute to him. Lindsey is even more under the radar than Pop and RC. To me he is a mystery and quite possibly has just become a figure to blame for no real good reason. I'm curious why others hate him.
Fuck. After dumping Dick the only dead wood to get rid of was Bonner and Lindsey.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
With an agreement reached, Hennigan will focus on Dwight Howard and the draft sources tell Y! Coaching search won't start until after draft.

Interesting that they reached a deal and OkC is still playing...to bad they didn't take lindsey.
How long 'til he trades Dwight for Westbrook?
Hawks have spoken to Danny Ferry about becoming their new GM, sources say. Rick Sund's contract up 6/30 & he could be consultant or leave...

Broussard has the Sixers talking to Ferry as well:
The Atlanta Hawks have spoken with Danny Ferry about becoming the club's next general manager, according to league sources.
Ferry, currently the vice president of basketball operations for the San Antonio Spurs, would replace Rick Sund as the Hawks' lead basketball decision maker.
Sund's contract ends on June 30 and, sources say, he is not interested in returning for a fifth year as the Hawks' GM. Sund could either remain with the organization as a consultant or move on altogether.
Ferry, who built the Cleveland Cavaliers into one of the league's top teams as the club's GM from 2005-2010, is one of the most respected and coveted basketball minds in the league and is also being courted by the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers have spoken to Ferry about replacing Rod Thorn in their front office.
The Atlanta position would likely give Ferry more power and autonomy, which is a critical factor in his decision, sources said.
In Philadelphia, it's possible that Ferry would have to answer to coach Doug Collins, who hopes to have final say in basketball matters within the organization.
