Spurs front office personnel are the worst until they leave and join another team, then they are the best ever.

Is he referring to his kids? How many does he have? Curious if any play Bball?

Yep, at the time, I knew a little bit about him and heard lots of great things about him and hated that he left. I wonder if he would have stayed if RC stepped aside (I guess back then, though, it was too early for RC to step down and hand the reigns over to someone else).

Bump.

Sometimes even smart people make terrible professional decisions. Imagine making the jump from the VP of Basketball operations of the just beginning Wemby Era Spurs to be an assistant coach for the dumpster fire that is Matt Ishbia's Suns only to get fired less than a year later. I mean Brent Barry could've found a way to the Spurs bench if he wanted to start a coaching career.. Now he is likely gonna get cycled through teams with minimal exposure and a lot less the credit he could have gotten riding on the Wembanyama gravy train..

My thought is that if he had stayed as a coach, he would have gotten more exposure to TP when he was in town than he would as a FO guy. He probably felt the need to move on to start his coaching career.
