[SilverSpur]

Looks like an all coach lunch? Becky there ?

[NYspursFan]

Udoka and Messina are also there not sure if Becky is there.

Wtf is on the side of the dude on the left's head? Looks like a face coming out of the side of his head.

[hitmanyr2k]

Popovich pulling some Matrix type shit. I think LMA will choose the red pill.

Lots of wine, then sign the dotted line.

Aldridge is asking Pop if his friend, the Elephant Man, would be welcome on the team plane.

Say "yes" Pop; don't make the same mistake Doc did with Amy.

Wow, that's exactly what I thought when I looked at the picture.

[Mr. Body]

They couldn't even get a private room?

[Marcus Bryant]

Pop's just flaunting now.

Under the table sweetening the deal.

Pretty sure Lillard signed again with Portland fwiw.

[davidbowie]

i hear Ime brought Nia

[SpurPadre]

She's bi, tbh.

[Marcus Bryant]

Rather nice to see Pop meeting with a star free agent in public, in the heart of the beast.

San Antonio de Bexar ftw, tbh.

Yeah... that's an interesting observation.

I guess a display of confidence?

What I don't understand is why there's a need for all the assistant coaches? Shouldn't it just be a one-on-one with Pop?

[Namundy]

"Eat your vegetables LaMarcus."

[Marcus Bryant]

Yeah... that's an interesting observation.

Maybe they're reviewing the intricancies of 4 Down?

[KL2]

Yeah... that's an interesting observation.

Pop is retiring soon, and if Aldridge plans to stick around he's going to have to eventually be coached by Messina. Udoka also played with LMA his rookie year in POR, they probably keep in touch every once and a while.

[Marcus Bryant]

We think Pop is retiring soon.

[Maddog]

Yeah... that's an interesting observation.

Pop listens to his assistant coaches and they play a key role in player development. I think it just a way of saying we do things a little different. I me is a future head coach, ettore is a legend in Europe . In other words you are signing with an organization that does things right.

[ducks]

how long is lunch?

[Jabba]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

Pop begging on his hands and knees

[ducks]

should have brought becky with him

[Jabba]

"Well I hope you enjoy playing for the Lakers, LaMarcus. Sorry we couldn't resolve our differences. Tony is simply too important to this franchise." -Pop

[DPG21920]

how long is lunch?

Waiter be like: "Ima set this check right here, but no rush"

[Chago]

Was this lunch today?

[Aztecfan03]

Yeah... that's an interesting observation.

Maybe to put his mind at ease if Pop decides to hang it up soon? LMA probably asked how long Pop would coach in first meeting.

[ducks]

Was this lunch today?
no it was before july 1 when they could not talk

[Silver&Black]

Under the table sweetening the deal.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Might have a Post Of The Day winner here....

[Aztecfan03]

Was this lunch today?
yes

[SpurPadre]

Lamarcus: I'll sign but you have to get rid of that geek Bonner. I don't wanna lose street cred because of that scrub.

Pop: Uh...Well. It's been fun. Enjoy Phoenix!

[spurtech09]

Looks like pop gave Lamarcus a lot of wine.........JK

[SpurPadre]

Must not have been a great lunch for this diva to still say he needs a few days to make a decision.

[Sean Cagney]

"Well I hope you enjoy playing for the Lakers, LaMarcus. Sorry we couldn't resolve our differences. Tony is simply too important to this franchise." -Pop

Lakers :lol

[NYspursFan]

Was this lunch today? Yes this was today.

[PublicOption]

then all this talk about him meeting here and there.....must have been by phone. are we all that stupid.......he hasn't met with squat.....he has probably been here all the time......and all those "presentations" were probably emailed to him.

So she could lick Lamarcus' vagina?

WTF are you on about?

[GeorgiaSpursFan]

Pop wanted to make sure all the assistant coaches knew who LA is. No excuse to "forget" him on the bench.

This is in LA. The guy who originally tweeted the picture is from LA.

[PingPong]

Aldridge: I'm curious about the centers.
Pop: uh, we have Tim, Matty and Ayers. But we can get someone cheap.
Aldridge: ....

[boutons_deux]

Lamarcus is leaning over singing his new deal :wow

nah, he's checking twitter, texts, email

[HI-FI]

Cool, Pop taking care of biz.

[ironman2886]

Ime[mouthing to Pop]: "Say something."

Pop: "So Lamarcus,.....you...like..red Polo shirts?"

Maybe he was referencing Chris Broussard

Still rocking the iPhone 5/5s

[dg7md]

Pop never looks that happy.

He must know he's coming.

[Stabula]

Pop is always happy when he doesn't have to coach

[Obstructed_View]

Pop is always happy when he doesn't have to give interviews while he's trying to coach

[k_nguyen93]

Everyone knows Patty played in Portland but both Ime and Sean both played with LMA in Portland for a season. Pop probably countering Phoenix bringing Earl Watson to their meeting who also played a season with LMA. I looked it up and apparently Watson was an assistant coach for the Austin Toros last season and the Suns just hired him to be their new player development coach last month.

No way Tim will be seen with a Sugar Plum Fairy.

I'm not sure why the assistant coaches are there, but I do believe Ime Udoka being a teammate of LMA in Portland (LMA's rookie year) should count for something.

Ime seems to have a great connection with players, regardless, tbh..

Pop makes the low man Marks take Holt CAT's calls.

Maybe next week they can go out for ice cream before he decides.

Wouldn't he want to have his agent by his side while/before giving anyone a verbal agreement?

Hell no

[99 Problems]

Pop needs a good program drawn up. Should we put in and buy him an ergo, gym ship'?

[ceperez]

A couple observations....

(1) Clearly an intentional public display that says to everyone... he's owned.
(2) I wondered about the assistant coaches... but it appears to be just Ime and Sean Marks.... two guys who played with LA previously. Sean Marks is one of those players that every other player seems to enjoy his company.
(3) Where is LA's agent? Pretty much saying, we have direct access to LA without the need for any counsel.

I think this leaked video is telling everyone in the NBA... hands off... we own this guy!

Good obs. I thought Messina was in that earlier photo. Maybe he got left inside stiffed with the bill.

I think that may have been Sean Marks balding head and not Messina.

Umm...that's a lot of stretching. I don't know why so many see positive in it. It could just as easily be a 'sure, I owe you guys a quick lunch after you guys traded away Splitter and I kinda feel bad because I'm leaning towards the Suns.'

Being caught in public is easy in LA where everyone is "famous".
