Worked pretty well for OKC.
We have a budding megastar and are entrusting the development of said star and team around him with a rookie head coach. So far we haven’t really stray from Pop schematically particularly on defense where we have been outdated for years.
it’s incredibly concerning. On one hand i hope this is a very short leash but on the other hand are there going to be head coaches available a year from now who can rival the ones who were there to be had right now?
i just can’t get behind it

Dont even put Vassell in the same sentence as those other guys.. Vassell is a failure.some of you just like to and moan before things are even played out. it's what you did when we traded dillingham and people kept saying stuff like "castle willl suck, we should have gotten Reed." it's one thing to be disappointed that they didn't pursue other options, I kinda am. but you have idiots saying things like "the spurs will not make the playoffs again", "wemby will leave", " and its always form the same band of morons.
youre acting like the spurs didn't improve by 12 wins from last year and also started making progress when both wemby and fox were shut down. and don't bring up that teams were mailing it in already, the spurs were also suppose to be tanking and people here get ing that they were getting late season wins because maybe just maybe they might eventually figure things out.
they come back next year with fox for a full season, improved castle, and hoping vassell will stay healthy if they keep him, and some other upgrades through the draft and free agency and you can believe they will be better. the west is tough but we're not ruining our chances already because we decided to keep Mitch.
all this is useless anyway if wemby isn't healthy.
Not the biggest fan of this but he’s number 4 or 5 of my coaches want list, with Jenkins being available and Becky being a possible get. I’d also like Vogel and synder before him but that’s me.
The offensive schemes was actually decent last year given the cir stances, it’s the defensive schemes I have issues with going in the new year. We will see how it rolls.
The spurs are running about 2 years behind schedule.
Wembys rookie season was supposed to be a play in year. We weren’t close. This year is supposed to be a playoff year, we were on track for playin before wemby got hurt. So I guess this year we can realistically make playin with a stretch goal of making the playoffs.
I hope the developmental staff gets revamped and there are clear directions and roles for the team. Hold fhe players, especially the young ones, accountable.
The defensive scheme is Victor Wembanyama, and he played around 50 games.
Did y'all see Buffett say he's sticking around Berkshire Hathaway this weekend? Or is he handing the keys over and walking away?
Figure it out, Pop shouldn't be anywhere in the building or picking who succeeds him.
I thought Hardy was gettable if Spurs made him a call. Here, it seems that it boiled down to Mitch's being Pop's guy all along, and him being the one most familiar with the young players roster having overseen their drafting since 2019 (KJ. Devin, Sochan, Wemby, Castle).. .
^^ Can't blame Will Hardy; he got the bag first just in case they miss out on Cooper Flagg and he gets stuck in Utah
You know who suffered from this drawback, TD? Brad Stevens, a great young X & O coach, whose laidback, 'choir boy' appearance was said to not have commanded enough respect in the Celtics locker-room.. When he stepped down to go upstairs and become the GM, i remember reading reports about instances of Marcus Smart walking all over him. Not surprising the latter got shipped shortly after Stevens assumed authority. Granted, Spurs don't have loose canons and players with cancerous tendencies on the roster, but it's something to keep an eye on as it's usually becomes an issue/factor when the goings get tough and you need a galvanizing force on the sidelines in addition to your best player(s) having such attribute..
Let's just give him a chance gentlemen
Intro presser on now
naw, let them keep going. this forum needs to keep it's reputation as ty Takes Central.
Pop looks rough
We all realize he's been coaching the team already, right? It's not like people don't have a reason for their comments. People liked him in the beginning for making some modernizations that Pop wouldn't consider but the honeymoon wore off. I just hope he makes adjustments or is able to make adjustments.
Pop can barely ing walk. Insane that this guy was our HC just a few months ago.
Jesus christ. It's criminal the spurs are letting him continue as POBO. He is clearly not in the shape to be running a franchise
Mitch introductory press conference for anyone interested. Pop speaks as well and his voice sounds pretty rough. His health is clearly failing him.
F'n rough man. Pop should have retired years ago. Hope he continues to get better tbh but this is tough to watch.
Yea hopefully this is a Joe Biden situation where he's just the face of the operation but not actually the brains. He can have his input, but we need young, innovative basketball minds leading our Front Office. Pop looks and sounds like he should be in a nursing home. Guy literally needs a wheelchair to get around right now. Just a wild situation all around.
Side note: Dejounte Murray is in attendance at Mitch's presser. Pop addresses him and thanks him for being there when he speaks. Pretty cool of him tbh.
Sad to see Pop like thatRest easy big man.
Can't see how he'd be able to be the president of basketball operations in that state. Hopefully it's a honorary le...
Rough.

here’s the video of him walking in. Dejounte shown towards the end, really awesome he showed up.
When it happened, they said it wasn't that bad. I thought that it was more precautionary - the pressure of the job, travelling and all that might be more a precaution for him to quit and move to the front office to not have anything happen.
How was he driving around like this, or was it maybe the incident at the restaurant that made it worse? We still don't know what the incident was and/or how serious that was? Maybe he was doing a lot better before then?
Also, really, really great of Dejounte to show up. I actually was interested in getting him back at some point before the Spurs traded for De'Aaron. Not sure if you guys think he would have fit the current roster? I haven't really watched him play much since he left. Just box scores and stats.
won isn't competing.
