I think next year will be his last and Becky Hammon will take over as head coach.
pop will probably outlast most ST posters.
I'm starting to think that he's gone after these next two games.
So will LMAQuote:

Enjoying mediocrity !? Ok
Yep..this and potentially next season is Pop's farewell tour, it would have been unfair to watch him have to coach a tanking team, he deserves to go out however he would prefer..
some of you LAMES are so ungrateful!! be better humans in your day to day lives! Lol
side note: our bum ass president = lying asshat
Leonard fucked the franchise.Quote:

Kobe deserved his as well, even if it hurts the team..Quote:

They are top paid making millions and aren't owed anything that is detrimental to the team.Quote:

":cryPop didn't play Young Player X:cry" is going to pale in comparison to when the Spurs roll with coaches like Jerry "How do I call a 20 second timeout?" Tarkanian, Bob "Double-teaming Hakeem is too complicated" Hill or John "We don't need plays, he just need to run, run, run" Lucas.
Oh man, that's going to be funny.
Keep in mind the common denominator back then was a circus carnival owner in Red McCombs who hired Tarkington and the rest of those mutts. Add in a semi incompetent Bob Bass. We no longer have that. The key to transition will be drafting smart and making good decisions on free agents and trades. The horrible return on the Kawhi trade, compared to what we could have gotten, brings back nightmares of some of our amateurish moves in the past.Quote:

Exactly this.Quote:

From what I've heard he signed an extension. I believe it's for two more years, possibly three. I think he has an option after next season.
Assuming one of Pop's assistant coaches would be the next head coach , which one would it be and which of these legendary coaches would the new head coach be like.Quote:

Hey maybe in his 2nd year a Tim Duncan type generational talent will fall in his lap.
Nuggs about to “enjoy” Pop one last time before they head to the next round.

If Bud wins the championship this year I'd be more comfortable going for a Pop disciple as HC in the post years. Otherwise go for a clean slate. Kerr has won but he's really a Phil/Pop hybrid disciple, Doc wasn't here during Pop as HC era and Avery lost.
:lol Malone is one of his guys, Pop probably can't wait for the Spurs to lose this game so he can walk over for the post-series slurping.Quote:
