Could Pop be traded?

Aaron McKie is Not the Only NBA Coach Who Could Get Traded
http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/4424/aaron-mckie-is-not-the-only-nba-coach-who-could-get-traded

Since PopApologists value him as either the best or 2nd best coach in the NBA, surely (by their way of thinking) Toronto would be getting a steal in a Pop for Bosh deal.

[Chieflion]

This sounds more and more stupid.

[duncanCOSTARICA]

If you trade Pop so pack him with Duncan and rebuild!

[timtonymanu]

slow news day at espn, huh?

[Fabbs]

3 morons so far....

[My Fault]

Perhaps trading idiots bandwagoners like Fabbs for draft picks sounds more reasonable....

[Chieflion]

Fabbs calling us morons when these are players who are veterans and provide veteran presences, thus "coaches".


This time last week, Aaron McKie was an unpaid assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers (although he is still making money from his last contract as a player). Then McKie was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Memphis Grizzlies.

And this is just the starting paragraph.

No we don't send our best player with Pop.
Finley and others.

You silly punk. :lol

[LOL@MavsFan]

God damn these threads are getting worse and worse. We get it...they suck right now. You "fans" have been spoiled too long. They say you can tell who the true fans are during times of adversary. Next time you "fans" think about starting another trade him, we won't make the playoffs, tired bullshit thread...DON'T. We have all heard all this negative garbage before. Go away.

The thread is for people who know how the NBA system does/doesn't work.
You Mavs and PopApologists who feel the need to see your name are the ones who need to "go away".

I think he's telling you that Tim isn't going to play for anyone but Pop, you silly punk. Realize.

[TJastal]

Yah, Fabbs. Check yoself befo you wreck yoself!

:lol

[My Fault]

So Fabbs when did you become a Spurs fan? Be honest...

[Chieflion]

I seriously believe Fabbs should click on his own link to read the old article again to understand it better.

[bigdog]

Lol

[greyforest]

pop gone = immediate team implosion

[Fabbs]

I don't believe a word of that.
Bosh gets on the team tommorow and Poop is gone, Timmy is stoked.
Sad that Pop is gone, yes. Stoked for another title run? Absolutely.

[Fabbs]

Timmy Dunks era, but not at the start when Coatails Pop got on board. Specifically during the summer of 2002 after the Kings won the title (but the Lakers were scammed it). I do not blame Pop for the playoff failure when DA got cheapshotted down.

I was onboard pre 2002-3 season when all the Laker Asses were at their peak of Laker Worship.

I clearly state in the OP i do not know all the facts surrounding coaches being traded, thus i asked for a sincere knowlegeable poster to inform. Which I'm sure one will in the midst of you trolls.

[My Fault]

So a core that has won 3 titles together, suddenly the coach who led them is gone and they to win another? What kind of logic is that? Still haven't answered my question cause I'm sure you haven't been watch basketball very long.

The contracts traded are player contracts. Those players "retired" before their contract is up. That makes them tradable. Recent example: Matt Harpring

Nicely done, calling us trolls when the real troll is you.

[TJastal]

I think Timmy would would be publicly sad for a few days if Pop got traded, but underneath he wouldn't be that broken up.

To say he would quit playing if Pop was gone is absolutely hilarious. Gotta love the POop homers around here...

You (and most people who bash Pop and want him fired) don't understand a damn thing. You think of them as coach and player. That's not it. They're basically best friends, and Pop is the only father that Tim has now.

I'm telling YOU that Tim might finish the season for his teammates, but would retire this summer.

Homerism at its finest

Horrible thread, horrible original poster, and anyone that backs it up is just looking to stir up bullshit especially since they don't know how trades actually work (see: Tjastal). I'm an equal opportunities kind of guy so this thread deserves to be shat on.

You must be Fabbs' troll cause there can't be two people who are this stupid.

My comments had nothing to do with an actual trade, I was poking fun at the notion Tim Duncan would quit playing basketball if his Dad stopped coaching.

Reading is fundamental.

Ditto. You're part of the " just trying to stir up bullshit" to make it clearer.

Resume shitting on the thread. Focus your trolling efforts on the OP :hat

[hsxvvd]

Based on a conversation I just had with the league office, for the league to approve such a trade, the NBA would have to be satisfied that Mitchell's contract with the Raptors was completley resolved -- bought out, terminated etc. -- and that whichever team was acquiring Mitchell was doing so to get him to play basketball for them. They frown on retired players moving around on paper just to satisfy the collective bargaining agreement.)

So what did the league office do about it with the Gasol trade?

[itzsoweezee]

Fuck you Popobitch.

[androck]

If only we could have a great coach like Vinnie Del Negro... yeah, THAT's our problem

[Fabbs]

None of you knows about the contract so far.

Cane, Chieflion, duncanCOSTARICA, timtonymanu, MyFault, LOL@Mavfan, exstatic, TJastal, greyforest,
Have you thought about modeling for the Spurs cause?

Sam Mitchell is a former player who retired before his contract was up.... Timberwolves have his rights as a player, not the Raptors.

Since Pop wasn't a Spurs player who retired before his contract was up, we can't trade him.... plus, I don't think anybody could convince the NBA they actually plan on suiting him up.

:clap Thank you Dro210, i had confidence a sincere member of ST would come thru with a competent answer.

I was wondering if we could sign Pop to a 10 day player contract to satisfy the trade rules. :rollin

Idiot, I told you to read the article you posted. You would have realised that Sam Mitchell was a former player who contract did not expire, but you just have to be a big idiot.

[ATXSPUR]

Peyton Manning is getting ready to win another super bowl under a different coach so I don't buy the idea that Tim is gone if Pop is gone.

[Fabbs]

I already knew Sam Mitchell was a previous player. That in and of itself did not prove or disprove whether a coach can be traded or not. Resume jerking.

good point.

Probably a ton of other players we could think of.

Just read the article and you will realise his contract had not run out. Keep being a dick. You are doing a good job.
