Pop was the driving force behind the trade and has been for years. RC and the scouting department have never felt as strongly about trading Rose as Pop has.Quote:

Pop does not change his successful winning teams in mid stream.
Rose was helping the team on and off the court, he is better than Nazr, this move was not a basketball decision, it was total front office driven. Now having said that, it was Pop's decision to give Rose that inflated contract, so he probably felt some pressure from the owner to remedy the mistake.
Cool Pic... Thanks for sharing Kori.Quote:

Pop told this to Rose in the final meetings last summer after he was nearly traded to New York.
Pop knew of Rose being traded. Pop knew he had to trade Rose in order to make moves in the future.
When the Spurs gave Rose the contract in '02, no one knew that Tony would be who he is, no one knew what the hell some skinny kid from Arg. was going to do or be as good as he would be.
They got the big contracts and because of that, the Malik was the odd man out.
Pop knew this. Pop knew he had to trade Malik.
To think Pop just siad, ok, when a trade came up is beyond stupid,
Well, it is beyond stupid to trade him in midseason when they were playing so well.
They have not played a good game since the trade.They are 4-1 since the trade and their average margin of vistory is 3.2. Coincidence? Hardly.
That was a nice ceremony for Sean. It made me cry some :cry. I'm so glad he's staying around and still being part of the Spurs. I wish him the best in the future.
Yeah I can see Manu sitting there watching it and thinking if he's going to have to do that how can he get out of being the man now for TC commercials after watching those videos :lolQuote:
they played his taco cabana commercial....so i was satisfied....missed having malik at the ceremony though.....Good to have #32 up there....he deserved it, and so does avery.
