AJ Back to the Spurs?

[T Park]

what the has he ever done in postseasonand what the has he done to keep chemistry in dallas
NOTHING

Lead a team to a championship

lead a team to the NBA Finals beating a better SA team in the process in only his first full season of head coaching duties.


But yet your still the same drool cup using re that thinks Lebron James is overrated so what am I thinking.

AJ wouldn't want to make millions over thousands?

I can't see that.

You didn't get what I wanted to say.
I wonder if signing as an assistant coach would make him lose Cuban's $.

I think he has a clause that would I believe.

[timvp]

Are you sure of that ?

I saw a quote from Cuban saying as long as AJ is out of the NBA, he'll still have to pay him. I'm guessing assistant coach = in the NBA.

I don't hate AJ ,he helped us get our rings but we have a good coaching staff who works well with Pop and RC. ----I look forward to trying to seeing how AJ does on TV.

AJ would improve the coaching staff 50 fold.

Him sending Brett Brown back behind the bench would be fantastic.

[T Park]

No thanks I'm straight.


Sorry to break it to the AJ haters, but if Pop wants AJ back, that means that Duncan is on board with it.


Go ahead and throw your tantrums now.

There is zero chance of AJ coaching this year. He'll get an analyst gig, and sit back and collect paychecks from Cuban. Anyone know how many years he had left? He was extended after the 2006 Finals run, and didn't even coach two full years after that.

My guess is:

Number of years left to collect every dime from Cuban = number of years before he takes a coaching job.

I saw a quote from Cuban saying as long as AJ is out of the NBA, he'll still have to pay him. I'm guessing assistant coach = in the NBA.

BTW, Cuban is a dumbass for continuing to throw him under the bus at every chance. Makes A.J. MUCH less employable, and therefor much more likely to collect ALL of his remaining Mavs checks.

Having a line up of former NBA coaches didn't put Dallas over the hump. We don't need another coach to teach defense. We could use a offense minded coach to draw some X's and O's.

The Mavericks ranked among the top offenses in the league.

He had nothing to do with that though I'm sure.

All defense.

The Suns were probably #2 but they were first round and out.

Thanks to a coach who didn't want to coach defense.

The Mavericks went out in the first round because

1 the Hornets were better


and thats it. That Hornets team was just far superior and Phil Jackson Pop no one would've gotten the Mavericks past em.

The Mav's had that look to them. They looked out of sync when they played N.O.--AJ will probably have a somewhat hard time now that Cuban put the "players quit on him and now want to be traded" tag on him. Kind of like PJ and the choking thing.

The players quit on him because they are a big band of whining pusses who didn't like getting yelled at.

I'm going out on a limb now but could Dirk be one?

Nahhhh, hes the epitome of mental strength.

To his defense them getting knocked out of the first round was not his fault either.

[Biernutz]

It had to be a major culture shock for Nellies team to AJ's team. I think that the Mav's lost a lot when Del Harris retired.

I think Dull was there last year.

If he retired, it had to be this past offseason.

Harris retired before last season. Del was probably the buffer between AJ and some of the wussy teammates.

[T Park]

I'm not positive, but I think Harris was still there....

[Biernutz]

Del left after the 06' melt down. AJ's 07' coaches were Joe Prunty and Paul Westphal.

I'm confused about Duncan's opinion of AJ.

I've read things over the years that led me to believe that Duncan really wasn't a fan of AJ, even when he was playing with him. Then there was the '06 semi's series where AJ was yelling plays out when Duncan was on that side of the court and his voice was able to get Duncan's attention and make him pause, waiting for double-teams that never came. I've got the quotes from Duncan somewhere, about how it took him a while to tune AJ's voice out. (He said something about AJ's voice still being able to catch him).

Now, this conversation says there's nothing to the rumor that Duncan isn't okay with him. I'm not sure what to believe.

I have no problem with Pop bringing anyone in that he thinks can help in any way. I trust Pop's judgement. An extra coaching mind and pair of eyes can only help, especially one that was trained in our system. And I do think if Duncan has a problem with him he won't be around to stay. But I'm just not sure what to believe now.
