Just when I think it can't get any worse...Parker wants to be GM after his retirement in 3-4 years.
For those who were worried about PATFO continuity, about who would replace Pop/RC...
And while NBA point guards typically make good head coaches, he would rather be an NBA GM once he unlaces his sneakers for good.
“The best thing was to be in the office every day during the (2011 NBA) lockout and see the everyday operations,” Parker told The Undefeated. “I looked at everything. How to manage a team, marketing, ticket sales, sponsors. It was a great learning experience for me. It’s getting me ready to work in an NBA front office.”
If Parker gets his wish, the soon-to-be 34-year-old — raised in France but grew to love basketball during summer trips to his father’s hometown of Chicago — will retire from the Spurs with 20 years of NBA playing experience at age 38 and head into management.
