Did we just lose Chad Forcier?

[Budkin]

Just stumbled across this but can't find any other news...

I know they were courting him. Damn. Looks like he's leaving.

Terrible news. Spurs have to upgrade the coaching staff too.

[stxspurs]

More importantly we lost Cassandra Lazenby

[tonight...you]

Damn. He was instrumental in Kawhi's development. This is a tough loss.

[myhc]

Our coaching staff is always getting fleeced. Congrats to him but sucks for us.

Kyle done got the player developmental staff fired.

[jyra]

Damn, it feels like development staff is a lot more difficult to replace than an assistant coach. Maybe bring back TJ Ford? He seems to be doing player development at the youth level right now.

[Chinook]

Making a place for Tim on the bench.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kyle's fault

[-21-]

Just when the team actually drafted a guy with potential...

Kyle done got the player developmental staff fired.

lmao

Is that a lateral move? It says Vogel tried to get Chauncey Billups as his lead assistant, and that he is looking for assistants among former NBA players who are assistants elsewhere. Then it says that he is talking about just bringing in two or three assistants, along with a player development person.

Put all that together, and it sounds a lot like Forcier would be doing the same thing he's doing in SA? I don't want to read too much into that, but damn.

[tonight...you]

Just keep Chip at all costs.
Whatever it takes. Don't lose Chip.

Probably a good bump in pay is all I can guess. Just keep Chip. Give that man a piece of the organization, if need be.

Making room for Manu or Duncan on sideline now.

More like Kawhi and Kyle's development got Chad promoted. He's got a better job and role in a young team.

[SAGirl]

Making a place for Tim on the bench.

It would be great in all honesty!!!!

I hope it's them and not Bonner!

[spurs1990]

Yeah a good bump in pay and getting to live in not only a tax-free state, but the entertainment capital of that state.

Worse places to leave the stability of the Spurs for than Orlando.

He's moving from player development, and little chance to move up since he's behind Becky and udoka and chip. He'll be no further than third assistant and he won't have to share the headlines with chip.

[mudyez]

I wish him all the best!

Just couldn't handle losing Chip (and Pop).

[NameLess Scrub]

Player development to Orlando? They just traded 2 lottery picks for Ibaka

[UZER]

I'll be worried when Mike Kickirillo gets taken away from us.

[Kawhitstorm]

I hope it's them and not Bonner!

Bonner will never go away, just watch him end up on the bench.
