This right here.
A team like the Spurs would buy what Messina is selling every day of the week. Does anybody think the Nets (which is basically the All-Star Reject Team) are really going to want to play team-first euroball?
1)Does anyone actually know what Pop makes?
b)Them old ass NJ players ain't gonna listen to some foreigner

Pop's at $6 million. One of the NBA writers was clowning on the fact that guys like Kerr and Fisher were getting paid $5 million out of the gate relative to what Pop's making. Think Doc is the highest at 7 mil.
Phil at his peak made $10M/year with the Lakers.
And he wasn't worth it, he was coat tailing and poking the owners' daughter.

This is what I wanted to hear.
All the rest were baseless rumors.

Win/Win if he comes to SA.
Hollins might be better for "win now" Nets anyway while Messina is the guy we want as a possible Pop successor. Also best for him too, as he might go nowhere if his first station is with this effed up Nets franchise.
Already in the works

Sides sorting final details in hopes of wrapping up Lionel Hollins' looming deal w/Nets today. Multiyear deal w/salary in $4-to-5 mil range
Okay, Messina, your chair on the Spurs bench awaits you.

And it appears we may have a vacant spot available for him also.

Wow, where is Marks headed?
I could see Marks wanting back in the business side of things. I don't know just guessing.
I thought that was where Bonner was headed.
Makes sense since it seemed like him moving to the bench was a last minute decision to fill it out. Messina is far more experienced and his arrival could benefit the team, by giving Pop an experienced guy to lean on again, and could help him with in roads to possibly becoming a head coach in the NBA.
Pop lost his 2 top assistants and still won a Championship. I'm sure he missed Brett and Bud but lets not go crazy here with the value of having experienced guys by your side. He won with Udoka, Marks and Indiana dude. Messina? Meh.
Back to the front office.
Please make it happen.
It's more about being Pop's heir than being an assistant imho. I really believe Pop will go with Duncan.
Took a little while but glad we hired him.
Finally!!!!!!!!
The heir apparent.
Apparently this guy's "legit" Popovich family source was wrong. BUMP
