My point was that no one is perfect. Even the ST knobslobbed Sam Presti has his Ouseman Diengs, Cameron Paynes, and Josh Giddeys, all lottery picks.
Yup. And to some degree spurs were always run as a team (PATFO) so this is in line with how they do things overall and makes sense. There’s definitely room for coaching upgrades as well so I expect announcements there too

draft Sarr and Risacher, bring in Batum, hand the keys over to Collet and the rest of the FNT staff, change the team colors to blue, tbh
The biggest decision that will be impacting this franchise in the future is who is going to replace Pop? There is no one on the coaching staff I would even consider to keep when Pop leaves
I really wish we could entice the UCONN coach to take over.
Collet with the guarantee they don't draft that stick Salaun
Which means on the positive side there is going to be another GNob, Parker, Kwa Leonard, Greek Freak, Haliburton, Joker.
Would be sweet if the Spurs could score someone as such.
Bummer. I like Brent and wanted him to be involved with the organization moving forward tbh. I know RC likes him a lot. Wonder why his dipping and if it has anything to do with Tony coming back around
Still think it'll be Steve Kerr. He's under contract for 2 more years with GS, but their window has clearly closed. Think Pop hands over the reigns to his bff in 2026 and a new era of Spurs basketball begins. He'd definitely have RC and Co's blessing. I just hope Kerr somehow manages to bring Steph over with him tbh. Doubtful, but would be dope.
That would be pretty interesting but I see Kerr with the Warriors organization for life. He’ll get taken care of even post Steph era and doubt he wants to leave the Bay area for San Antonio. Wemby and the opportunity to coach another dynasty might appealing to him but we abetter start building a compe or quick.
Please no.
One of the most overrated of all time. Just a savvy media dude
Right. That savvy media dude took a team that was under achieving with 47 and 51 wins the previous seasons under the Jeebo , and led them to 67 wins and a le in year one, because that’s what savvy media dudes do. Doc Rivers is a media savvy dude. Steve Kerr is a first ballot hall of fame coach.
He spotted Draymonds strengths when Mark Jackson didn’t have a ing clue, unlocking the death lineup.
Kerr's only issue are late game situations and adjustments.
Warriors lost way too many close games over the years and relied on ridiculous shot-making ability of their roster.
Idk how long he's got left due to his back issues, though.
As long as it's not Brett Brown, I'll be happy.
Wouldn't mind giving Becky a shot, she's easily better than most coaches in the NBA.
You guys are about to get TD21 started on Kerr again
I too think Kerr is a little overrated.
He got some of that hard headedness from coach Pop lol
Mark Jackson wasn't the best for sure but he went through all the growth stages
Kerr didn't get his job by merit, he was handed a complete team + 2 lottey picks to start his career. Hence the overrated.
Doesn't mean he awful, just that he never went to a building mode and he sucks at late game adjustemnt
Zaza saved his ass from an embarasement
KD made his job a joke
Would love to get bud back but that ship has sailed
Pretty lame tbh. I've always liked Bones when he was part of the org. Even did us a solid and signed back with us after being traded during the deadline.
I hope it's not because Porky is getting a bigger role within the org tbh.
He‘ll get fired by the end of next season. The Suns won‘t win and blame it on the coach
Yeah, Bealwtf was that FO thinking oof!
Is Steve Kerr overrated? I don't know, but somehow Luke Walton went 39-4 while Kerr was out for health reasons. He failed in 2 years as a full time head coach, was recently assistant in Cleveland and I haven't heard him mentioned as a candidate anywhere else
Walton isn't a coach, at best an assistant but he's only been put in charge not to bother ppl. either players or FO.
.
He's never going to do anything great but he'll never cause issues in the lockeroom or in the medias, he's a corporate guy.
Lot's of networking in the NBA, where like many other professions merit isn't the main criteria to get a position.
Kerr is media and politically savvy (from his dad I guess), he got the job/gift but it could be Nash or Fisher, who also didn't get their jobs based on merit around the same time.
No hate, good for him but please not as an option to replace Pop.
I would say that Steve Kerr, like Bud, when they came to Golden State or in Bud's case when he first went to atlanta, they were able to make immediate changes that improved the outlook of the team.
I think after a certain point teams gain their own momentum and coach themselves and so coaches can't get all the credit, but I think they're are specific moments where you can see a coach come in and immediately change the situation and it's hard not to at least acknowledge that.
By saying these ex-players didn't get their jobs by merit, it discounts the value that an ex-player brings to the table simply by virtue of being an ex-player. It's not like the used their rich daddy to get the job, or blackmailed the owner or some .
If you want to say Steve Kerr didn't get his job by merit, you also have to say Brent Barry and Manu Ginobili didn't get theirs by merit either (which I won't say about any of those dudes). You essentially are saying that no former players earned their jobs by merit... their playing careers, and how they carried themselves throughout it, is their merit.
Being an ex player isn't one of the main criterias for a coach and I'm not saying Kerr is incompetent. He's just massively overrated and basically learned his job on the fly.
I'd say the same for Red going from podcaster to coach of the Lakers lmao (I know there are many factors for this job other than pure coaching abilities, no elite coach want this poisonous job and JJ is the perfect muppet for Lebron and the FO) But still...
As for Brent Barry, I have no idea what were technically his tasks (other than the le) nor his qualifications (was he an assistant for a while for ex?)
Same for Manu, no idea what his job is nor what's really your point with him tbh
Lastly we can agree to disagree and I like exchanging with diff pov, but pls don't look for the worst possible interpretation ...
I think the basic requirement to become a head coach is to have spent a minimum of time either as a coach in below categories (or youth) or as an assistant coach at the level you seek.
Not having either of those experiences prior to taking the head coaching job of an NBA team is mind boggling to me.
But that's just me...
