    The concerning part is that he's actually on their radar. I'm sure Hollins, if hired, will go out for his guys, but if the crazy Russian really likes Messina he'd have no problem paying him what Pop makes as HC here in SA.
    1)Does anyone actually know what Pop makes?
    b)Them old ass NJ players ain't gonna listen to some foreigner

    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?

    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.

    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.

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

    I could see Marks wanting back in the business side of things. I don't know just guessing.

    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.

    It's more about being Pop's heir than being an assistant imho. I really believe Pop will go with Duncan.

    I already posted this but it bears repeating. According my legit Popovich family source, Pop retires this off season and needs hip surgery. There is a small chance of one more season. This will be Pop's replacement, and it is a genius move.

    And I don't make up guys. Look at my post history.
    Apparently this guy's "legit" Popovich family source was wrong. BUMP
