If the Spurs lost Pop but gained Bosh, would our Championship chances increase?

[Fabbs]

Is the Spurs tommorow lost Pop but gained Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors, would the Spurs chances for a championship this season improve or decrease?

[Kori Ellis]

I'm not sure the point of these weird threads. The Spurs can't trade Pop for Bosh.

So, how do you intend to get Bosh here?

You can't answer your question without knowing who you are trading for Bosh.

[Fabbs]

Well my other thread was clear as a bell. Can coaches be traded?
If you know for a fact they can or cannot, please post.

Not confusing at all.

[Fabbs]

And as to this thread, I'd like to know if others think the teams chances would improve. Whether its theoretically or not.

[Kori Ellis]

No, you can't trade a coach for a player.

[Kori Ellis]

And as to this thread, I'd like to know if others think the teams chances would improve. Whether its theoretically or not.

That would depend on who else would be off the team.

[Fabbs]

So why did the article mention Sam Mitchell of the Raptors being tradeable?
Could we get this on the trade thread?

[Fabbs]

8-3 so far.

[Russ]

First things first. Let's just keep Bosh away from the Lakers. :)

[Trimble87]

what? what the...? what exactly is going on here? :bang

[Chomag]

Meh, Bosh is not old enough to play on the team yet. Maybe in about 6 or more years.

Jon Gruden was traded from the Raiders to Tampa Bay for 4 draft picks, two of them 1st rounders.

Was wondering if the same could be done in the NBA.

[to21]

I'd personally go after the first overall pick by offering up the public service announcer.

[Bukefal]

Damn all the Pop hate. Pop is the best we have, you realize what he has done for us? You realize that he made the spurs and he made our success? It would be disaster when Pop retires. He is still one of the best basketball coaches ever, yeah he may have strange moves and things we can question, but come on!

Im really worried about that, the day he retires.

Besides, this question is silly. Pop is a coach, Bosh is a player, I dont get the logic of this.

It's a Fabbs thread. Your supposed to take it tongue-in-cheek.

[ffadicted]

lol dumb thread. Like Kori said, who would we be giving up for Bosh? And if it's straight up Pop - Bosh (which is impossible lol), who would be our new coach?

[JR3]

kind of hard to say. Too many variables unknown. what coach would replace pop? Would we just not have a head coach? I'm not voting on this one.

[I. Hustle]

So Toronto would have two head coaches?! THEY WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE!!!!

[xtremesteven33]

No, you can't trade a coach for a player.

[Old School 44]

Is the Spurs tommorow lost Pop but gained Chris Bosh of the Toronto Raptors, would the Spurs chances for a championship this season improve or decrease?

Is that like Amber Alert lost?

How about I hid him in a secret place, now I can't find him lost?

Or is it like playing Texas Hold'em, I raise you one Pop.
I have a flush, you have a full house. Damn, I lost Pop.

I don't get it? :rolleyes

[alchemist]

wtf?

[Fabbs]

It's a Fabbs thread. Your supposed to take it tongue-in-cheek.
Oh no, i mean with those literal roster changes.
Assume Pop and Finley are diagnosed with some transmittable disease, hence both off the roster. Now assume we get Bosh in some kind of Kwame for Gasol deal. That really happened, right? Bosh for Jefferson.

At any rate, try to deprogram yourselves and go with Bosh on the roster, PopnFins gone.

[Fabbs]

There is your answer. ^^^
Do you lose at Hold Em a lot?

With a frontline of Timmy Dunks, Bosh and Blair do you think it would be difficult to coach the Spurs? I'm sure the Spurs could find someone.

[easy7]

I don't think Bosh can coach better than Pop. And I don't think Pop can play better than Bosh for Toronto so it will f-up both teams, but the punishment would fit the crime. :lmao

[Fabbs]

So Toronto would have two head coaches?! THEY WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
and you could be towel boy to two head coaches. UNSTOPPABLE!!!

[Fabbs]

I don't think Bosh can coach better than Pop.
But you're not sure either. :lol
Bosh would not have to coach the Spurs.

[JR3]

We would need to also trade peter holt for Jerry Jones to be able to afford Bosh on top of our current roster's salaries.

[KuntryDude]

I would gladly take Bosh as a player rather than Pop as a coach for SA. Pop = old dude/style set in his ways. IMO, the game has far outgrown Pop. There are several good coaches (younger coaches) that we could fish for. Mitchell, Scott, & Johnson (Ave) just to name a few...

No.

[KuntryDude]

The old Pop....maybe not so much of a trade. However, the dickhead that i've been seeing for the past 2-3 seasons...let him fly!!! Poor decisions one after the other. Good coaching don't make poor decisions consistently. Not a Phil Jax fan, but i can tell you, when Kobe is on fire, he let's him destroy your ass....not take him out to cool off...

[SpurmzKilla]

Cow, dam. Things must tuff in Spurm world when
a) u wanna trade da coach
b) u clearly gone nutz thinkin u CAN trade the coach
c) totally nutz 2 think dat Rappterz would give Bosh for Pop

Let me repeet dat, you think Taranto would trade Bosh for Pop. Shit, in dat case, why in da hell is we LA talking bout giving Bynum away for him? We gonna have to give a whole lot more than one young upncomin stud for Bosh, you guys is offering a holla fame, time testing, championships winnin coach.

I used to think Spurmz is so pathetic trying to be a dynasty and all, maybe I still does but dat ain't no matter wit dis new level shit. Spurm children iz all meltin down and shit. Just b4 I saw all theese peeps flippin 4real over George Hill. Now they mo crazy mofos tryin to trade da coach!
Da muthafukin coach!

Aight firsts things first I would take the trade from Spurm. Then the league would be all yo dat shits craaaazzzzeeeee u can't do dat and cancel da trade cept I'd keep Pop cause he's a badazz mofo. And since NBA highaupz be letting me keep Bosh I'd go for the trade wit LA and get me some Bynum. Imagine coach Pop coaching a young stud big man again. I and vision some major cultcha changez with a top defensive coach and a big guy in the middle. Pop would have all the Eurodudes playin wack D.

2)Meanwhile I'dve created da ultimit bomb2da Spurm. No championship coach to handle all those new dudez. Oh man, I'm LOL just thinking bout checking SpurmTalk after dat! And all da weird crazy threads peeps be makin bout da losing Spurmz.

3)On toppa all dat da Lake Show gots Bosh, Gasol, Odom, Artest, KB24 MUTHAFUCKAS!, Brown, etc There's no way to stop them! Spurm won't even be in da playoffs to try. Now DAT would be weird. No Spurm in da playoffs.

Just Kidding I wouldn't do dat trades. I couldn't. I ain't no coach. Why would I do that anyway? I like the competition, wish the damn Spurm would get they shit togetha so we can turn back da clock and throw down like da old dayz. I'm just clownin cuz u dudez need a dam joke here n there. Fo real, everytime I visit there's crazy niggas talking all kinds of crazy shit and now it's time to trade the coach!! Liten up b4 y'all do something stupid and regret it. Things could b worse, right? y'all could b'n Jersey or something.

What happened to da much respected cultcha of Spurm? And Coach Pop's example of da man cuttin stone 100 timez. Y'all fo-gett'n dat championships attitude? Where's y'all professional poys? Tradin da coach u aughtta be a shameful o' yo self! Stop bitchin and start winnin some gamez.

and just in case u wonderin bout da real coach trade, I did sum research. I can't troll da board without a little fo real trash talk to da Spurm. I been 'cuseda bein dumb and looks like you have2 so Ima raise da bar and throw down some real tanjabel shit.

Yo u know bout the Gasol trade? The trade dat made the Lake Show Western Conference Champions and Spurm wonderin y da hell they didn't make a trade? Ya, dat1. Lake Show had Aaron Mckie's contract on da bookz from when he last played in '05-'06. He played 24 games and then retired without doin the official paperwork and then joined Philthy as an assistant coach.

When Lake Show traded him, Criterion, Brown, Mark Gasol, and draft pix
to da Grizz Coach McKie agreed to join Memphis so da trade went down. Da next year da Grizz waived him and he rebecame a coach in Philthy.

The moral of da story iz, da Grizz showed respect and hooked a trade to help da Lake Show today and da Grizz tomorrow. Philthy showed respect for hometown hero KB-muthafuckin-24 and let they assistant coach go. Aaron McKie got a million dollars 2 stop coachin and get traded. Aaron McKie got rich and the Lake Show got a championship, maybe more.

Sam Mitchell last played fo Sota I believe, so they could use his contract in a trade if he agreed to it, but I don't think dat's gonna happen. Dude's not even coachin now is he? Is he an assistant now too?

I guess da real moral of da story is that Spurmz fanz iz crazy. Lake Show win's by coming up wit real tradez u dudez is wastin mad time on crazy tradez dat ain't gonna happen no wonder yo team in 5th place!

We had some discussion on this, and it turns out apparantly you cannot "trade" a coach. But like Laker *Championships*, things can be *worked out*. So if Spurs ownership and management approached Bosh and Toronto and let it be known that Greg Pop would be available, (to many on ST the best coach in history and certainly Toronto must feel the same way :lol ) in exchange for Bosh coming the Spurs way, then a deal could be worked.

Hey, maybe that prize recruit of CIA Pop, you know Dick Jefferson at 15 mil a year for Bosh? Oh, he oped out. Well, something could be worked out.
So whom did you vote for?

Until you give us those variables, then the poll question pretty much...rhymes with ducks.

Popovich is the best coach in the league and has been for a very long time. Anyone who thinks there is a better coach out there is an idiot.

For those of you who need some help...
1. Dick Jeff in a S&T along with Matty Bonner. Poopovich resigns in an outrage over the move and begins negotiations to coach Toronto.

2. Or, since no other team or coach was stupid enough to give Dick Jeff two years at 15 mil, lets go with one that Toronto would benefit from, keep it real. Tony Parker and Matt Bonehead S&T. Pop resigns after incurable transmittable disease found in he and Mike Finley.

As to #1 being a no-brainer, sorry. There are plenty of PopApologists who would not make that deal.
