He will be the big off season free agent signing for the Spurs.

So Brown is leaving?

Could also be replacing Bud

Not neccessarly. Hes replacing Bud, although Brown could also leave to be the HC of the sixers

That's Jim Boylan. I know, it's freakishly close spelling and both are coaches.

Forgot about bud.

I'd still like to see the addition of PJ or Avery Johnson to the staff IF Brett Brown were to leave.

[loveforthegame]

Interesting.

I wouldn't mind them still adding PJ or AJ but it might be good to have a new voice on the staff.

Good hire. He already has familiarity with the Spurs thanks to his appearances in the Wayne Wright-sponsored copyright commercials.

Good insight into Jim's capabilities in this brief article.

"Boylen’s main duty is working with the Pacers’ big men, and he’s been given some of the credit for helping develop Roy Hibbert into an All-Star. Indiana coach Frank Vogel is extremely complimentary of Boylen.

“He’s been a big-time help,’’ said Vogel. “He and Brian Shaw — adding those two guys to our staff has improved everything we do from a coaching staff standpoint. Honestly, I feel like we have two of the best assistant coaches in the NBA.’’
Vogel also said he believes Boylen has “a future as a head coach’’ in the NBA.
“The day-to-day game plans he gives us on the teams we’re playing, the analysis he gives on our own team and the ways that we can improve — really he’s one of the brightest basketball minds I’ve ever been around,’’ Vogel said.

Nice to see us poaching talent for a change.

Baynes and Splitter if he comes back will spend a lot of time with him I'd assume.

Well, that can be taken 1 of 2 ways.. Spurs are looking for a big man in the draft or they're sticking with Tiago.. I hope its the former rather than the latter.

This move shouldn't translate to the draft. I believe this move translates to game prep, analysis, strategy and player development. Talented guy.
