View Full Version : Someday, when I’m GM of the Spurs I’ll hire the folks from Spurstalk



Ed Helicopter Jones
07-18-2007, 01:41 PM
Here’s who’ll be on my staff:

Director of Media Relations – Ducks – having Ducks in charge of all my press releases should ensure that we stay CIA. Navajo codetalkers won’t even know what we’re up to.

Team Physician 1- Admiral – Life hasn’t been the same without my wingman. If he isn’t done with medical school yet he can practice his surgical skills on millionaire ballplayers…I’m sure they’ll be fine with that.

Team Physician 2 – JimCS50 – Yes, I know he’s a dentist, but I’m sure his medical training will allow him to treat whatever could happen to someone on a basketball court. How difficult can it be assess a high ankle sprain? It’s so simple a dentist could do it.

Head Athletic Trainer – ShoogarBear – I know Shoog has some sort of medical or physical therapy background, only I’m not really sure what he does exactly. He’s kind of like Chandler on Friends in that respect. I figure if he can shoot the cortisone shots it’s all good. Our team just has a bunch of foreign floppers anyway, so there really won’t be any real injuries to worry about.

Strength and Conditioning Coach – GIG – I want all my players to be able to jump as high as him….I just hope the players don’t all bulk up like he has. I hope GIG isn’t linked to Balko anytime soon. Optional replacement for the same reasons: Norcal.

Basketball Operations Assistant – Cosmic Cowboy – Since I’ll really be handling most of the basketball operations as the GM anyway I just need someone in this spot who’ll be fun to party with. If half of Cosmic’s tales are true I want to hang out with this guy!

Assistant GM – Kori Ellis is a no brainer for this job. Much like Sam Presti, she’ll be the power behind the throne, and I’ll simply take all the credit for all her great ideas.

Director of College Player Personnel/Scouting – Timvp in this position should ensure that my team won’t ever draft another Marcus Williams. MarcusBryant will be a good replacement after another team hires Timvp away to be their GM within six months.

Shooting Coach – T Park apparently can shoot some mean halftime contest hoop. That’s all the evidence I need to hire him as my shooting coach.

Director of Pro Player Personnel – Sequ, the obvious choice. If anyone can relate to today’s NBA player, it’s SequSpur. And, as a failsafe, if player mutiny is afoot, Sequ is the perfect height to go around and give the players each a pacifying hummer. Worst case, he can entertain the troops by farting corn kernels.

Director of Foreign Player Development – Angel Luv – She’ll be able to keep me updated on which Slovenian player looks the hottest in his uniform. Important information if the team is ever involved in a “pose-off”.

3rd Assistant Coach – Whottt – In case things go badly I need a scapegoat on my staff that I can blame for any poor decisions that I make. Since no one would believe it if I blamed my assistant GM, I’ll need Whottt around.

2nd Assistant Coach – CoachTF – This team needs one real coach.

Assistant Head Coach – AggieHoopsfan – Most of the time I agree with his opinions. His occasional hot head makes me a little hesitant to make him the head coach, but as the top assistant he should be able to enrage at least one player enough to result in his being choked a time or two. The entertainment value in that alone is worth the hire. I considered Ghostwriter for this position, only I knew I’d probably only have him around for two or three games a year.

Head Coach – Solid D – Hopefully I won’t have to fire him thirteen games into the season and replace him with myself because this could severely strain our friendship.

You can't have whottt without having Chump in that assistant coach mix, too. I hope Solid has a strong stomach.

Also, since you have astutely recognized that you want to have to do as little work as possible, you need a salary cap guru like Bruno or one of the other local wonks.

You forgot to mention that Spurschick would be promoted to Spurs Marketing manager.

FromWayDowntown would be a perfect legal advisor.

Shelly could chill all the beverages.... and use her wisdom to manage all the towel boys....

I'd happily take over the in-game music duties..... With the 1st thing on the list being to get rid of "Are You Ready for This?" Intro...

Last but not least we could use mouse as the official "food-taster" at away venues.

I'm good with all those...so let it be written.

I figure Holt will make SFIE an executive vice president of something, so I'll likely be answering to him.

Johnny Blaze is going to be my inside guy in the media, and so when I trade Parker to the Mavs for two of their dancers and cash considerations he'll be able to spin it into brilliance.

Spurswoman is Director of Entertainment. In my position of power I'll be able to just make up staff positions as I go along.

However, I'm obligated to inform you that this position requires you to dress up like a geisha, comment on my enormous biceps from time to time, and address me as "Daddy". There's also a paddle, twelve feet of rope, two midgets and four video cameras involved, the details of which will be given to you upon signing a binding two-year contract.

My brother's wife has some cousins on the south side who can hook us up. 22's, a kick ass sound system for preaching to the masses, hydraulics, and some sweet decals :spam: :spam: :spam:

Don't worry about the cost either. I guess they live on a really bumpy road or something because all this stuff falls off the back of trucks around there.

All I require is that the player hold a full beer in their off hand and a lit cigarette in their mouth.... I make 20+ LEGAL freethrows in a row one handed with this training regime.... I can just imagine a pro player.

My FT average is 87% over 3 years of doing this. Most shots are while I am drinking!! (Holding a cigarette in the same hand that I chug beer with while shooting).
