[MultiTroll]

Can any of these Car - Grandpa suggestions be applied to Team With Major Potential - Coach / de facto GM?

What team has major potential? Are you watching the same team I am?

What team has major potential? Are you watching the same team I am?

I'm watching a team that gives make minutes and plays to trash players like DeRozan. The least clutch player maybe in the entire league

[itzsoweezee]

Popovich and DeRozan deserve each other. A couple of washed up dudes the rest of the league has passed by. Ready for next season when both of them are off the team

It’s funny how the same thing that is playing out with the Cowboys-Jerry is the same things spurs are going with Pop.

[TimDunkem]

It’s funny how the same thing that is playing out with the Cowboys-Jerry is the same things spurs are going with Pop.

I have a feeling that Pop won't fully let go until they literally pry the keys from his cold dead hands.

[slick'81]

This will require the spurs making an actual trade

[MultiTroll]

You can "Bump into Him" and Spill a Glass of Wine laced with Cyanide on him Richard "Iceman" Kuklinski Style.

Problem Solved.
Tell him the ATT Center has moved and there will be no more games there?
Would he fall for that?

Yep. Ownership apparently is too apathetic or intimidated to ask for them.

Not remotely. Jerry has the Cowboys exactly where he wants them. They are making him piles of money. He doesn't care if they ever rise above 8-8 again as long as they keep making him those piles of money.

[TimDunkem]

He has EARNED the right to take this franchise down in flames with him!

"Sell the car" was one of the suggestions.
But apparently the Holts will not sell and no Balmer type super above market value price is being offered.

Isn't Pop the highest paid HC in the league? I wouldn't want off the $11M ride either if I were in his place, tbh

If the Spurs fall to perpetual .500 ball, they wont retain nearly the cache or profitability of the Cowgirls. In fact, many ST posters think fans will stop supporting a treadmill Spurs team, and the team will eventually leave SA. Pop is a short-timer. The Jones family will own the Cowboy cash cow forever.

He gets paid for both being the head coach and also El Presidente of basketball.

Yes. 11 million and change. Just slightly above Doc Rivers. Well above 3rd place Rick Carlisle.

Yeah Pop's just raking in the last big bag tbh, not a long term thing for him (fucking hopefully). I'm starting to think he's purposefully coaching like ass, so he can get fired, and still get paid while not having to coach the shitSpurs any longer tbh

Nah, the Spurs probably would give Pop a golden parachute at least equal to a single season's salary. He doesn't have to get fired to get paid.

[K...]

Ownership doesn't have any incentive to intervene. If they fire him, they hold the bag and have to improve the team. If they don't and we suck, then there's an easier case for launching a new regime, but there's no hurray. If they get better than so be it. Another year of treadmill won't kill the team. Murray and lw may get frustrated but taking a low pressure recovery year isn't bad.

[BackHome]

As long as we are loosing I am happy let the old man give us two years of great lottery picks and then retire.

In Pop I Trust To Tank

[MultiTroll]

And then one day, Mom backed the Lexus out of the driveway right into a neighbor's parked car. Mom took no responsibility for the damage inflicted, even going so far as to blame our neighbor for parking in her way. It was both fascinating and horrifying to see her so easily justify this behavior.

My siblings and I did some digging and discovered that in New York, where my parents were living, anyone can file an anonymous "request for driver review." The form asked for some basic information before getting to the heart of the matter: "Your reasons for reporting this driver."

​Months later, Mom received a letter from the DMV informing her that she had been "reported" and was now required to take both the state's written and road driving tests within the month. Talk about livid. She was convinced that it was her neighbor — the one with the smashed car — who had ratted her out. Her outrage masked equal parts humiliation and the fear of losing her independence, worsened by a subsequent lung cancer diagnosis and surgery that, on the bright side, gave her an extension for taking the test.
While recovering from her surgery, she enrolled in a local driving school. She knew from the DMV letter that if she failed to appear or to pass, her license would be revoked. "I've been driving my entire lifetime," she explained to me. "I'll know when it's time for me to stop."
Finally, on the appointed day and hour, Shelia drove Mom to the DMV for the test. She passed the written part but failed the road test. When I talked to her later in the day, she sounded dejected but also furious at the examiner, who she said had been rude and condescending. A week later, his evaluation came in the mail: He had dinged Mom for poor judgment, being inattentive to traffic, failing to stay in the proper lane, impeding traffic flow, poor acceleration, poor steering, delayed braking and more. Indeed, his comments were rude and condescending, but they were entirely accurate. His final words:
"Extremely dangerous!! Turns wide into wrong side of road! Poor late braking. No observation at all backing. Completely unaware of surroundings. FAILED."

You just talk him into a front office job then ignore him. Avoid calling it a retirement.

[Extra Stout]

The only person in the Spurs organization with the stroke to tell Pop that it’s time to go is Tim Duncan. Until then, the Spurs will circle the drain, losing in the present while alienating the future. Spurs fans will just need to find something else to do.

Its on Duncan to save this franchise again, tbh

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

He probably has no idea what to do because he’s never been in this situation before; also, he probably still really enjoys going to fancy restaurants after the game—I really think that might be playing at large roll in him sticking around. He’s probably coaching up some young sommeliers on the fundamentals of pinot noir.

You're both right. Ideally Tim but since he is not going to (up to this point and no reason to believe he is going to) then it would be up to ownership in a quiet non media way. Holt kids are obviously too pussy / hands off to do anything.

Bear in mind he could remain on the bench but allow sound of mind basketball people to make all major decisions. Then voluntarily retire at seasons end.

lmao that's what he said? We were too much on the dribble? Or did we just play Bryn Forbes 31 minutes? This guy is so full of himself, it's always somebody else's fault

[paperboy77]

The guy does go on to qualify his analysis on another tweet but still.... The simple eye test tells anyone, except Pop and his cronies, that good things happen when you play your good players. Just wow!

[sasaint]

Could also be construed as excellent evidence that Pop is tanking.

It would be interesting to see Pop's rating each year of his tenure with the Spurs to determine how aberrant this year is...

[RC_Drunkford]

this just confirms what I have been saying for a while. He's the worst coach in the NBA. And no, he's absolutely not tanking because he has a long history of doing dumb shit like this

[dbestpro]

The question is bound to turn into how good could we have been without Pop making so many stupid decisions? Is he really senile or were the HOFs covering for him all along?

[Prime BEEF]

I think pop is so confident in himself that even if he lost every game the rest of this season, he’d still walk in for training camp next season acting like he’s the shit, the GOAT and ready to win another title lol. He’s so delusional it’s sad.

At least Bud endorses modern basketball. He's the reason the Spurs embraced space-and-pace after 2010. Much better options than Becky who's a spineless yes man

The problem with Pop too is that if someone tells him what he should do, he doubles down on the opposite...so if we say it's stupid that patty is playing so many minutes, and that we shouldn't resign Derozan...he will probably start patty and sign DeMar to a max...

Thankfully Demar won't choose to re-sign here. He is like what 32? He wants a ring not to be in a city that hasn't made the playoffs in back to back years. He will look really good in Orange and Blue :lol
