We definitely don’t win without Nazr Mohammed in 2005. Imagine having to start Rasho Nesterovic against Ben & Rasheed Wallace.
It wouldn't be a hesitation on Pop's part, but why would Kerr give Pop the information he needs to beat him out in trying to get a player? That would be self-defeating on Kerr's part.

Because they have a good working relationship and it would be about not getting jobbed by Ainge and bid against themselves.
I would think if the Warriors are trying to acquire Lauri, their goal would be to actually acquire him, not tank their chances. But maybe Kerr doesn't really want Lauri. This would probably be seen as collusion though. Not sure if that is explicitly against the rules, but it should be (two teams conspiring to lessen the benefit to another team)
I am just saying that there is a level of respect and trust between Popovich and Kerr that is not between either party and Ainge.
If Ainge is trying to play one off the other, it would make sense that two friends would compare notes.
Agree to disagree in this instance. They may be friends, but they are still compe ors. But who knows?
