No, Pop won’t be the first. SpursTalkers have said it since Duncan left.

[MultiTroll]

You Pollyanna Pop sniffers can go ahead and say how *real* he was / is keeping it.

If so, wth were Aldridge, Patty etc given big minutes and the offense revolved around them and Derosian the last few years.
The object was not to pursue a Championship lineup again, rather add to his win total and playoff streak. Which backfired in spades.

What, you mean our team devoid of a super star, all star, top 5 lottery pick, and mostly late first round picks or 2nd round picks is not going to contend for a title?

Is not going to build toward going for a title.
Popped had every intention of starting Bryn Bryn Forms and Aldridge in the bubble.

The bubble Young Un Breakout was in spite of Pop, not because of.

Giving away, no worse yet paying LMA to go to the Phaggots East Nets? Site owner saying he's okay with that.
Please.

Don't be obtuse.
2017 with Duncan Lite Kawhi we absolutely had a chance to Chip before Zaza.

Hey we know that. We just don’t want low ceiling losers getting all the playing time over young players who need to develop

Crying about two season's ago and what "could've" happened is a lot healthier, I guess.

I forgot you are one of the main trolls on here and your 'Beloved' is likely out for the season, so nothing better to do but complain.

What he said isn't wrong and hopefully they will start trying to head in that direction (instead being happy "treading water").

LMA to the Nyets was 3 months ago, dipstick.
My "beloved" was the foundation Duncan built and was being carried on in 2017 with MVPKawhi.
That you're bothered by that is....too bad.
This offseason had some encouragement.
Then your cult leader commanded Bryn Forbes back on the team. You bow down and worship.
I don't.

[Larry O]

Hmmm... so, with that in mind, is Pop gonna stick around for a year or two & contend with the Spurs' rebuilding process? Sense we won't be gassing up the riverboats any time soon for a championship, let's see if Pop has any gas left in the tank to coach the team into a rebuild, now. GSG!!!

[slick'81]

Soo when does he break the news of his retirement again?

[Chomag]

And that's why he brought Forbes back, Title experience baby!!

Ok kidding aside of course I would love to see our team win but I honestly wouldn't care if we lose most our games as long as we are developing our youth. its part of seeing what they have and also where the team needs to improve on going forward.

There are some growing pained ahead that will be painful to watch at times but as long as they are playing hard , competing and striving to grow it will be worth it, even for us fans watching.

I'm convinced Pop is staying til he passes away and this current ownership / management will continue to enable regardless.
No special sauces or trips down the HEB aisle.
Should Pop be allowed to coach until he passes away? (spurstalk.com) (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=289896)

Most all would like to see this.
Now, will Pop stay the hell out of the way? Was looking very encouraging until Pet Bryn.

Why do I picture you with dirty, coke-bottle glasses, a button up short sleeve shirt, soiled khaki pants, and at least one dead animal rotting somewhere in your house.

I disagree as to Forbes. Forbes was dying to play in the bubble because he knew that it was an opportunity to increase his value. He begged Pop to play him. But Pop said the bubble was to give young guys rep and he made him stay on the sideline.

No.
Bryn Bryn injured his hip. Link:

San Antonio Spurs rumors: Bryn Forbes might be done for the season (airalamo.com) (https://airalamo.com/2020/08/01/san-antonio-spurs-rumors-bryn-forbes-done-season/)

Aldridge was out with a shoulder injury.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I pasted the rest of the article for you.....


Steve Kerr - "...the Spurs, they’re not going to win a championship. Pop will be the first to tell you that."

:pop: "That's exactly right, Steve. We went out and signed Brynn Forbes, to ensure just that. He's a proven matador on defense, and will be a direct bee-line target to the bucket for opposing offenses whenever I put him in the game...which will be often. We're looking for draft picks, not championships. We feel like Brynn's skillset is a perfect match for us in our pursuit of those goals."

[John B]

The last two years, Pop tried but didn’t want to throw Demar under the bus, so he just let him play out his contract. Class act Spurs. But ALL the vets are gone. Forbes signing is to put up numbers, while rebuilding. I think this team will run, pass a lot without much ISO plays. They are going to play defense, hard. I think it’s back to Pounding the Rock. It’s been a while, but that’s the Spurs mantra. Either it brakes or it gets stronger in the fire.

[GAustex]

That is what needs to happen.
The young ones may catch wind in their sails and make magic.
Prolly not though

Not if you ask... literally...anyone else first. Is this a lack of faith by a coach or someone who has eyesight? You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he retired and gave Becky the job. Yes, GAVE her the job. There are better choices available out there but he's just the type of dude to giver her the keys and say "Go". This team isn't going to win, what's there to really lose?

On the other hand, the gig pays him a lot of $$, he might be able to secure the all-time wins record and he doesn't have to answer to any sort of media push back. Not bad. Yeah, he'll probably come back for 1 more.

Looks like the boys in The Desert not only agree with Pop, that this team isn't title contenders this coming season,
but they are betting that the Spurs will only win around 28 games, making the Spurs to be one of the worst teams in the league for the 2021-2022 season. Hmmm... This would be the perfect opportunity to fire up the tank and get it rolling! But I think that this team has a scrappy competitive spirit in them and they will win more than 28 games though. Eh, perhaps around 33 to 35 wins next season(?). I can see this team loosing a lot of close competitive games. It will be interesting to see which youngin will step up to be the go to closer in close games. GSG!!!

[ElNono]

Hopefully Kerr takes the coaching reigns on the Spurs once Pop retires, tbh

[exstatic]

If the Spurs had won 26 games last year, the number Pop needs for the record, the would have been slotted 9th for the draft lottery drawing.

Spurs aren't contenders this year. The FO has finally accepted the rebuild.

What the hell else do you want him to say?

"I will be giving refunds for all season ticket holders and single game buyers I screwed by delaying this by at least two years. My apologies."

"I will be giving refunds for all season ticket holders and single game buyers I screwed by delaying this by at least two years. My apologies."

Like the Spurs are the first, or last, organization attempting to delay the inevitable. Get over yourself, man.

And tanking sooner doesn't guarantee that you'll be back in contention sooner. Look at Minnesota, Sacramento and - prior to this season - Phoenix as examples of that.

Apparently, the 2022 draft class is also loaded, so they can potentially come away with a generational talent/foundational piece next June too.

[GAustex]

Too? You saying Primo is a generational talent?

Other organizations have squandered people and resources so the Spurs wasting them was also good.
Viva la Pop!

[Proxy]

was this said before or after Bryn's resigning?

[MultiTroll]

Good question.
Must factor in whether Popped had a private arrangement with Bryn prior to the public announcement.
Terms are still hidden.

[DMC]

Not every NBA team has a next year goal of winning a championship. If they did 31 of them would always be short of their goal. They have more reasonable goals like player development and conditioning.
