    Bud coming back to coach is a more likely scenario
    Wouldn't be bad.

    Does anyone see Manu on the bench in an assistant coaching capacity?

    Cuban will pay Carlisle out the ass for the foreseeable future, as coaching is not the Mavs problem. Pop always said he'd leave when Timmy left, but he's under contract for a few more years and I don't know that Pop would force the franchise into a buyout situation with his premature departure. Pop is also the President of Basketball Operations, and might very well retain that position when he eventually leaves, at least to smoothen the transition into a new coaching era.

    I have only my speculation and instinct to go off of, but Pop being under contract + I'd be genuinely shocked to see Cuban let Carlisle go even as the Mavs slip further into a rebuilding period = not going to happen.

    To answer your entirely hypothetical question, though, yes I think Carlisle would be a solid fit in the existing system.
    Other than money, why would he want to stay in Dallas? He might make less somewhere else, but he'll get paid plenty wherever he goes. Mavs have done a terrible job in planning for a future without Dirk.

    I don't know. I agree, the Mavs don't seem to have a post-Dirk plan in place, and that doesn't bode well for their contender status over the next few years. I don't know that there are going to be many positions open after next year where Carlisle would be put in charge of a system that gives him something to build with. A lot of coaching hot seats are with revolving door teams that rely on the lottery to pick up players, spend a few years letting them run the show and missing the playoffs, then either finally draft enough of a supporting cast for a few seasons of relevance or put the developed draft picks on the trading block for another pick or a bigger star. Maybe that appeals to Carlisle enough to draw him away, but my money's on him staying in Dallas a while longer. Could be wrong, though.

    There really aren't that many compelling places for him to go as you said. If he stays in Dallas, I guess they might get bad enough to drop into the lottery and start over. But as to building a team, even though Cuban has been willing to throw money at players (except Chandler), it seems that the strategy there is just keep trying new things and see if something sticks. A point could be made that Carlisle has hurt their long term success by keeping them out of the lottery. I'm trying to think of any recent long term coaches that have stuck around through something similar in having to rebuild around a core player every single year. I think most teams have at least one other consistent core player.

    The next Spurs head coach will be... Manu Ginobili! He will retire, start as an assistant coach at the Spurs and will be the Spurs head coach in 2020.

    Pop has already been quoted as saying there's basically no way he sticks around for the life of that five year contract. I'd bet heavily on Messina.

    Pop will be around for a few more years. Carlisle is the best thing about the Mavs and even though Cuban is a horses ass he isnt stupid enough to let Carlisle go anywhere.

    Certainly agree with the first two parts of that. I've thought Cuban wasn't too stupid for things in the past, though.
