i think he sticks around until he completes his olympics gig as head coach in 2020.
Pop promised Aldridge that he'd stick around while Aldridge's was playing for the Spurs. Oops. Now that Aldridge is on the way out the door have to wonder how long Pop is going to keep going.
i think he sticks around until he completes his olympics gig as head coach in 2020.
He also was being pressured by Tony to coach him until retirement. Tony is injured, still putting pressure for another deal, but I think after this injury Pop doesn't owe him to keep coaching.
I do tend to think he sticks until 2020, but that just pressumes excellent health, energy, and projects things to continue being in the future same as they are now, which just cannot be known.
In reality, we may consider him year to year like Tim and Manu most recently.
He'll be like Timmy. When he no longer has that passion for coaching, he won't coach. I think he said as much too. I remember him mentioning how he loved coaching Kawhi too..
Who knows what he'll do. If Bud was still here I bet he'd feel a bit better about leaving if he could take the reigns. (Whenever he decides to go)
Kawhi with Pop is the main reason why a high caliber FA would want to play for the Spurs. I hope he sticks around until we get Davis.
So he should have already left..
If Kawhi is winning MVPs and taking us to the WCF every year with 60+ wins, he will be around till that gravy train ends.
Uh, no.
Pop has two more years in him, then he's retiring. IMO
Messina or Ime will be the next coach.
Will coattail Kawhi to another 60 wins and maybe Championship.
Wants the adjulation of Olympics.
2020 at least.
No way in he leaves before that.
tim said he'd play until the wheels fall off. i don't recall him saying he retired because he didn't have the passion.
He said it wasn't fun anymore
2020
This. He said he probably could have played, but didn’t want to.
Yup, this ^
He will retire after next years Championship.
Until the entire team is dismantled, gravity stops working, and the world ends bloody.
Which should happen by mid-season this year, because Aldridge is a vaj and we didn't get CP3.
Pop is going to do a Woody Hayes and tackle an opposing player who is doing a break away in a meaningless game, and will announce his retirement the next day.
I think this is Pop's final year tbh. He doesn't need to be an NBA coach to coach the Olympics. Double duty at his age with the season he's going to face isn't going to be kind to him or his family. I don't see him trying to outlive the big 3.
Pop's not retiring any time soon. Who would stroke his ego?
Your bubble is always a few microns off level there Fabbs. The you come up with doesn't ever make any sense, and it's not even good trolling material.
Pop is a HOF lock, might get it before he retires. He's never going to be better than he is right now, legacy wise. He has nothing to prove, the entire NBA is built around his system and his disciples. He's a legend. He can ride off any time he wants without ever thinking of any of that stupid you mentioned.
He'd just pull a Kerr and take time off if he wanted, honestly.
I don't think so. Kerr isn't pulling a Kerr either, he's damn near unable to walk, much less travel and coach.
Some of you are mentally re ed.
I'm not saying Kerr is faking, "re ". I'm saying Pop could just make up an excuse to take 20 or 30 games off if he really wanted a break. Do you honestly think Pop is that eager to quit and go out of the limelight? I don't think you know Pop if you think that.
This ...
Then you say this immediately after:
I'm saying Pop could just make up an excuse to take 20 or 30 games off if he really wanted a break."pull a Kerr" then "I'm not saying Kerr is faking"... then "make up an excuse to..."
I don't think anyone here knows Pop, don't pretend you do, stick.Do you honestly think Pop is that eager to quit and go out of the limelight? I don't think you know Pop if you think that.
