New Assistant Coach: The Great Timothy Theodore Duncan (Confirmed by Spurs!)

[FkLA]

95% chance of happening

per my source MoSpur02

:wow :flag:

[slick'81]

Hope that 5% dont fck it up tbh:smokin

[playblair]

only if vanessa macias is allowed to be on the bench as well

[Duncan87]

MoSpur new tspence. Lol

[picnroll]

That should solve the Spurs’ culture thing. Maybe they could trade Patty.

[Chillen]

Wow, having Tim on the bench again would be huge for this team just his presence alone. Maybe he might go on to replace Pop as head coach, Tim always struck me with his knowledge of the game as head coaching material.

[timtonymanu]

MoSpur new tspence. Lol

MoSpur deserves more respect than that tbh

[GreekSpursfan]

I'll believe when i see it. Lets hope Timmy got really bored and said why not try this shit but i'm not very optimistic.

[Duncan87]

Been wrong as much as Chris Broussard lol

[blizz]

Lock this shit.

[slick'81]

Lock this shit.


Its mospur bro

[gambit1990]

i think it should locked too. even if this turns out to be true, it’s premature regardless.

This would actually mean Patty stays

He's not going to be head coach, just a damn good assistant. His bball IQ is insane, and he can teach all the guys great footwork, defense, and god forbid a post move instead of shooting step back 3s all day.

Honestly, he probably does all this already, given all the stories about him having practices with the team. He may just do it at a greater capacity if he accepts the role.
MoSpur022 man I hope youre legit and that this will come true.

MoSpur022 man I hope youre legit and that this will come true.

Well here is the thing, and this is 100% speculation on my part. We are talking about one of the greatest competitors that ever played the game. It’s hard when you are only in your early 40s to simply retire with basically nothing to do but hang out with the family. Yes obviously you want to spend time with your kids, but that competitive drive does not simply go away. It needs to be filled somehow. So if this is for real, I fully believe he wants to be a head coach in the league. He wants to win championships as a head coach like he did as a player. That’s just my opinion. And yes if Tim is fully committed to the spurs as an assistant coach, he will be the head coach at some point.

[dbreiden83080]

Great players do not make great coaches. Scrub players make great coaches it's like that in all sports.

Tim is one of the smartest players to ever play the game. Also what separates him from a lot of great players is the ego. He doesn’t have a massive ego that refuses to listen to anything other than his own opinion.

What I believe is he is doing this because he feels sorry for Pop with the way #2 left him and his two main assistant coaches left him.... Thats probably where his competitive fire is motivating this. He doesnt want the franchise he helped built go down in flames.

Honestly if this happens, I hope Manu joins Tim on the bench as an assistant coach too.

Spurs are still a pretty good team even without that snake ass bitch around. Not championship team but we are relevant. So I don’t think that has anything to do with it. I think if he wants to come back and coach, it’s simply about the competitive drive that is still inside him.

[Hyperhypo]

Can someone tell Duncan to get on Team USA plz, everyone's pulling out and he could fit right in

Manu as a coach....omg
his Bball IQ is thru the roof

MoSpur022 man I hope youre legit and that this will come true.

This is what I was told. He's accepted as far as I know. Not sure when the Spurs will officially announce it and Duncan can obviously change his mind, but from what I understand he will be an assistant coach.

[picnroll]

Does that mean TD is going to sit on the bench and travel with the team or more like assist in practice, player assesment.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Wow!!!!!

I hope he does take the job as assistant. I think he could really help the young players alot

[GreekSpursfan]

Snakes gonna snake. I’m sure pop has moved past load management’s exit. As for the assistants, pop wouldn’t be sad at all. Throughout his tenure, he has WANTED his guys to leave to advance their careers. He encourages it. Assistants become leads. Leads get head coaching jobs.

[Ice009]

Ever heard of Larry Bird? He was a great head coach. Took the Pacers to 2 x ECF and 1 x finals in his 3 year coaching stint. Could have even beaten the Bulls in one of those series and went to the finals twice and won it all if not for some bad/favourable foul call/s at the end of one of those games at the end of series.

Wow. Just read MoSpurs02's post as I was still on the previous page when posting my initial reply. I am freaking excited if Tim is going to join the team as an assistant coach. That will be amazing. Do you know if he'd be a full-time assistant, MoSpur? One that travels with the team?

btw, is the 02 in your username anything to do with Kawhi?

[Russ]

Tim is one of the smartest players to ever play the game. Also what separates him from a lot of great players is the ego. He doesn’t have a massive ego that refuses to listen to anything other than his own opinion.

I think TD does have a massive ego -- he just knows that the best way to feed that ego (by winning) is to listen to certain others.

Make millions teaching things he was perfecting for 20+ years. Laying a foundation to rebuild the Spurs after the PR thrashing Kawhi gave them. Hanging out with friends. Making an impact for the community in SA and possibly broader in the NBA. Smarter question where else would his talents take him farther? Guy is too young to act fully retired.

[Dejounte]

You make Tim an assistant coach, you become a city major free agents want to come to, IMO. This gives stars the perfect excuse to come here.

Correct me if im wrong but we never had cap space during his time here. Also, Tim wasnt as accomplished as he is now.

[FkLA]

You are wrong. Summer of '03, fresh off a championship, fresh off back to back MVPs with cap space available after Robinson's retirement and the Spurs struck out. He doesn't have any negative impact on free agent recruiting, if anything it's probably positive but it's nowhere positive enough to where players will come to small-market SA because of him.

Sounds good, but other than Jason Kidd, he wasn’t a major draw to get free agents to consider SA even when he was playing. And Finley doesn’t count.

Maybe this is fake the the Spurs are just trying to find the mole leaking the info to ST.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

He’s the last one I’d imagine being an NBA coach but it’d be interesting. His leadership will be invaluable for a young rebuilding on the fly team. He could also stare snake into committing suicide on the court.

Will he be made to wear a jacket as well?

[Dex]

This is truly surprising news, if true.

In fact, it seems so outlandish to me that I am still suspicious this is a troll post and have a hard time taking it seriously...even if it comes from the lips of the prophet MoSpur02.

I thought Timmy was ready to settle down, spend time with Vanessa and his family, and manage BlackJack. I'm sure he is still on the Spurs payroll to some degree and can show up at the gym whenever he feels like it.

Does he really want to sign back up for every game and practice and being on the road nearly 6-8 months out of the year, and doing all the homework and game-planning that being a coach requires?

Who knows...maybe the simple family life hasn't been all he made it out be. Maybe a guy who spent the last two decades immersed in basketball is struggling to find purpose without it. Maybe he is just tired of hearing the kids yelling and screaming after being home for a couple years :lol

Don't get me wrong...I will be ecstatic if this news is true. Duncan is still my favorite player to this day, and any way you can incorporate him into the fold is a major win...but I still need to see a press release before I get my hopes up on this. I figured Timmy would never be the type to go into coaching.

[exstatic]

I'm thinking this might just be formalizing his current situation. He's been doing player development almost since the day he retired. I have a hard time seeing him as a bench coach and travelling with the team all season.

[barakz21]

TD coming back as an assistant coach would be like like leaving the army as an enlisted and going back in as an officer. But honestly, I would be excited if this is true. The man was the reason I became a spurfan 17 years ago.

[cd98]

I like Tim and it would be cool to see him coach, but I can't get overly excited about it. He's a big man in a game that no longer benefits big men. Can he coach a game he doesn't know? I'd love to see what Manu could do, though. With his international experience and what he did in the Olympics, etc., I would think he could be much better at drawing Xs and Os and coming up with schemes based on today's rules.

[Man In Black]

That was calling BANK! Nice.

[barakz21]

Maybe just the opposite?

Well, on the enlisted side you have more hands on stuff, where as on the officer side it’s more about behind the scenes stuff, planning, managing and to a certain degree of mentoring/developing people though that’s more an nco’s job. As a player, he did the hands on stuff and now as a coach he gets to do the planning, and some of the managing. And we all know he’s always been a good mentor to his teammates. I see no reason why he wouldn’t be as a coach.

Also, YES!!! Timmy is baaaaaacccccccckkkkkkk!!!

The NBA is fucked with this news.

Spurs are drafting and developing talent far better than other organizations. PLUS the drafting eligibility is about to change with younger kids being eligible for draft, which makes drafting even more risky/difficult. So the majority of teams that suck at drafting college kids are gonna suck even more with high schoolers available.

Having Tim will help cement the spurs young cores as sticking to the organization. So the league won’t fleece the Spurs after they’ve spent 5 years of developing.

GOAT doesn't seem like he's ready for the primetime rigors of being an assistant coach right now, due to his family life & business ventures, etc. I think that Pop will allow Timmy to do pretty much what he wants; just to feel it out to see how if this is something that he would really want to commit to in a full-time basis. I think he enjoys teaching; being around Pop & the guys; staying in shape & his love for the game. There's already some discussion about if the opportunity arises, would Tim leapfrog Becky in seniority & even be the top candidate as the HC when that time comes. Let the discussions & debates begin on this matter! :) GSG!!!

Awesome news. Best news of the offseason, tbh.

League source confirms that Hammon-Hardy-Duncan will indeed be the Spurs’ on-the-bench alignment next to Pop next season. Timmy is NOT taking a mere player development role

[timtonymanu]

Assistant coaching lineup looks so much better. Ettore was addition by subtraction.

[NASpurs]

But seriously, Timmy is looking like a 7' Wombat. Cut that shit off brah.

[BackHome]

Kobe is retired from basketball and making oscar winning content.

Duncan has no choice but to sit on that bench after Amy, Amy's side dude and Duncan's financial advisors all took him to the cleaners :lol

YEP .. Kobe making Porn Movies “Kobe Goes Back Door”. Some Oscar winning shit no pun intended :eyebrows

[Spurs9]

Broke as soon as tspence returned to the forum

[DAF86]

lol this is actually true. I thought my hermano FkLA was just fucking around. :lol

Cool ass shit, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

But seriously, Timmy is looking like a 7' Wombat. Cut that shit off brah.

Looks great tbh. Not his fault Patty is a scrub.

[Kori Ellis]

Some people owe MoSpur02 an apology after comparing him to TSpence.

[phxspurfan]

:reading I wonder if this mean's BlackJack is going Bankrupt...

[JuneJive]

Great news.

Timmy mentoring the younguns.

:wow :flag:damm good call

[MoSpur02]

Some people owe MoSpur02 an apology after comparing him to TSpence.

To be honest TSpence is legendary. :lol

[ducks]

Maybe spurs should extend ... before he works with Duncan

[Dejounte]

Do you guys really think that Tim of all people, the same player who took no shortcuts during his professional basketball career, would skip out on road games??

[Budkin]

Holy shit this is awesome! Props to MoSpur

[MoSpur02]

From my understanding the Spurs also made the same offer to Manu, but he declined.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I wonder how long he can last before he decides to suit up for games? In seriousness, his competitive nature will probably have him itching to take the floor.

[phxspurfan]

From my understanding the Spurs also made the same offer to Manu, but he declined.

I don't see Manu ever coming back to pro sports. His family bonds are too deep. Maaaybe as a side role like an announcer once his kids leave the nest, but that's about it. Not in a competitive role like coaching.

[Dex]

From my understanding the Spurs also made the same offer to Manu, but he declined.

Give Manu a couple of years to get tired of being Dad, then try again :lmao

[MoSpur02]

Yeah Manu is enjoying retirement/traveling way too much

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Good to see spurstalk in good spirits for a change

Good shit MoSpur props for giving us the goods will always hold your word Good

Props to MoSpur02 :toast

I think he deserves to have one of those old ST medals or avatars that were being given back then.

[GreekSpursfan]

The greatest Spur is coming back but we shouldn't let that distract us from criticizing him for his current job. We have criticized previous assistant coaches and Tim will not be the exception, no one is beyond criticism.

[timtonymanu]

No one can be worse than Ettore "hold my clipboard" Messina.

[Dejounte]

Manu and Tim as assistant coaches would have been EPIC

[Degoat]

So Becky will be the head coach if pop gets ejected right??

[jjktkk]

Thanks MoSpur02. :toast

[DAF86]

From what I just heard, they have been trying but teams are asking for compensation to take him. His market is D R Y at the moment.

Son, how long do you plan to keep this "I have sauces" shtick? :lol

[south side spur]

At least Duncan didn't kill the Spurs like Kobe killed the Lakers. But dense Laker fans will deflect per par.

Bro Lakers fans are so pathetic they claim shit that happened in fucking Minnesota. Pathetic Boston wannabes.

[Mugen]

Yeah Manu is enjoying retirement/traveling way too much

Manu's only a year out tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a standing offer and he eventually takes them up on it. Maybe not assistant coach but some kind of competitive capacity.

My sources said they also reached out to TP about an Assistant Manager role for the in-arena Whataburger tbh.

[K...]

but my all time best spurs PG can't even get onto the film team? FUCK THE SPORS I am not a clippers fAN

Me neither lmfao

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Done deal. Don’t doubt MoSpur02.

You ain't never lied MoSpur02 is the Woj of all things Spurs.

Great reporting MoSpur02!

[cmspur]

was just messing with laker fans to see if they paying attention. This is not only proof but they are already shitting on their pants for the thought of seeing timmy sitting in the damn bench in a suit!:lol:lol

Hey I'm glad to eat crow on this one.

Spurs hurried to sign Barry so that they had an excuse when offering Tim and Manu assistant positions but not Tony, imho. :lol

[DPG21920]

Son, how long do you plan to keep this "I have sauces" shtick? :lol

I really don’t know what to tell you. Have I ever had a credibility issue on the board or lied? Can you point to something where I just made stuff up? I don’t claim to have “sources” but I have spoken with people that definitely do and get some info passed along to me.

[FireMicoHalili]

:lol Why would he come back to be an assistant coach tbh?
to piss off fat internet trolls is my guess

[SpurPadre]

Manu the next head coach in waiting and lead assistant.
Timmy as the OG, mentor, development, and culture cog. Murray, White, Walker being around Timmy will do wonders for their growth, leadership, and as franchise players.

FIFY

[SpurPadre]

Weird to have God as an assistant but I'll fucking take it, tbh.

[picnroll]

Sit your ass on that bench Manu.

[Seventyniner]

Let’s goooooooo

:lol naming Hardy before Timmy.

[Seventyniner]

One Twitter comment stuck out. Does this mean that Becky is the lead assistant and will be head coach if Pop gets himself tossed or takes a game off?

[TheRemix]

Seems strange, Tim is above this. Must be bored

[Dennis the Menace]

My guess would be yes, which is good

[BatManu20]

I believe so. Which would be the right move. Better than Hardy or Timmy right now certainly.

I was going to come with a take that would have been perceived as being negative (not about the hire, which is obviously above reproach, but about the possible perception), but I decided to not risk putting a damper on the mood. :lol

Nah, the timing is inappropriate. It's been a rough few years for Spurs fans, we need all the good news we can get . . . they'll be plenty of other opportunities for me to get people worked up.

[NickiRasgo]

Not really a fan of players that'll become part of coaching staff/front office who had an all-star/superstar status because it usually went bad but this is a good news.

I'll be happy to see Timmy again considering he doesn't have a social media. :lol

[Dingle Barry]

I heard he’s only going to be at the home games/practices and will only travel for some of the road games. Not a bad gig at all if true.

This is the NBA. There are a limited number of coaching spots, and they aren't part time.

[DAF86]

So far I have only seen you jump on the info of others and/or call inside info to moves everybody expects the Spurs to make, for example you would say something like: "yeah, I've been told they are trying to move Belinelli" when every Spursfan that follows the team somewhat regularly knows that if there's one Spurs player likely to be moved, it's him, tbh.

Funny thing is that, despite these being obvious guesses with a more than decent % of occurrence, they all have yet to come to fruition, tbh. :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

He's got a great basketball mind. He knows X's and O's as well as anyone. We were told that he got involved with personnel issues while he was playing - not to mention his own salary negotiations that looked at the bigger picture and not just him. He knows more about the mental game than nearly anyone on the planet. And he commands respect. I don't know if any assistant coach ever arrived with more tools in his box.

I don't know if it's even possible to get a 4-year strikout like Lyles to live up to his potential. But having Tim Duncan there as a mentor has to be the best chance I could think of.

[FkLA]

Do not doubt my nigga MoSpur02. Give the man a spur or some sort of badge, imo. :tu

[Mikeanaro]

Awesome.

[RGMCSE]

This confirms its pops last year as Spurs head coach. Duncan wants to share one last season with him.

[XDT76]

This will be the guy to help poeltl and lyles to get better contracts next off seasons.

Uh no. I was one of the loudest Kawhi is going to the Clippers posters on here for the better part of a year and even had people asking me why I was so confident.

I don’t claim to know everything and I certainly don’t do what you’re saying.

Also a huge difference in thinking something and hearing something similar to others which then makes everything more credible.

Like in the case of Beli. Heard the same thing that then Mo posted which is why I commented. You’ve seen Mo be accurate so are you saying Mo just made the Beli stuff up and was reading tea leaves because it did not happen? No.

The Beli thing is the only example you have of what you say. Go back and look at the Kawhi stuff and what I was posting vs what all the media and most everyone on here thought was the “likely” out come.

I don’t know any sources but talk to people Ive developed a friendly relationship with that share some stuff with me and I post it when I think it helps

[playblair]

usa is not winning gold if the trend continues into 2020 of players dropping out

[dbreiden83080]

I get it about a pecking order.. But Tim could have been a player/coach his last few years like Bill Russell was. No way Becky has more knowledge than Timmy..

[dbreiden83080]

I heard he’s only going to be at the home games/practices and will only travel for some of the road games. Not a bad gig at all if true.

Doubtful. If he is not all in, there is no point. You hire someone else. Tim gets that. He is not about special treatment.

I'm not acussing Mo of inventing anything, tbh. I'm acussing you of acting like you have inside sources while never actually providing any real new Intel of interest, tbh. :lol

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Super weird tbh, but I'm happy he's back.

Still, is he going to coach LMA into being a winner or talk Derozan off the ledge every other month :lol

Ok. I don’t know anywhere near as much as Mo, I don’t break anything nor do I claim to. My style of posting is to share insight to what I have heard when I think it makes sense.

You just picking a fight like a miserable person makes no sense to me. Skim past it - don’t know why it seems to bother you so much (like everything).

But again, go look at the Kawhi/Clippers stuff vs what the board/media were saying. That literally goes against everything you are saying.

But no need to argue with you; you are literally the only one that thinks this way and just in general is a whiny poster that nitpicks and makes very little sense.

Meh. Not really a fan of ex players coaching. 90% of the time its a huge failure


Lots of ex-players have been great coaches. Mostly mid-tier and even lower-tier players. It's the top tier stars who have struggled. That would argue against Duncan. But, all bullshit aside, he really was a natural leader. Is a natural leader. Guys like Jordan or Kidd would bitch out a teammate who didn't do something right. Tim was just as likely to encourage teammates, or sit on the sideline teaching them. That's not hero worship talking - we all watched him do those things over the years. I think Tim can be one of the exceptions to the rule, just because he really is a different personality than most of the star players who have tried coaching.
