Drunkford’s new scapegoat
Dont get it twisted. The drunk driving POS still calls the shots. This guy is an assistant to the general manager.
The new figurehead.

Being drunk in a car is better than being shot up in a car, tbh.Drunkford’s new scapegoat

Heads have rolled. RC kicked upstairs, typical corporate procedure.
up - promote up.
This their way of handling the up with losing the franchise player? Oh and on top of that, for peanuts
Kawhi won a championship with the Raptors, and was positioned to repeat - and they let him walk away for nothing. I guess they're going to have to promote Bobby Webster to president, and make Ujiri the King of Canada.
The Spurs could not have ever kept he who i shall not speak his name. Why do people think otherwise?
Did you see his list of demands to the Raptors organization?
I think the fact that he bolted for the Clippers was more than evident to the fact that he never wanted to stay.
To be completely honest, I am glad the malcontent is gone. I can't stand that diva mentality.
We were all duped by a quiet personality and assumed that he was another Tim Duncan...we were completely fooled.
Hopefully new insight, brings up new ideals for the flaws that we've been circling the drain for over a season and a half.
Phew I was thinking he was going retire. Say what you want about his goofy ass smile, but post-Pop RC will be the one keeping us relevant. We're in good hands as long as he's here, tbh.
He might have cancer or some kind of disease tbh.
The article said he's been taking some high level management-type classes, preparing for this. Sounded like it's just part of a plan.
Young Holt probably wants more guidance/advice related to the whole business.
Shouldn’t be much to fret over yet, but this is a big move in the context of Brian being groomed as the future decision maker.
The FO the past few years has not been nearly as sharp as other FO in terms of personnel decisions/contracts and if he was influential in that it’s legitimate cause for concern.
Kawhi trade was not optimal even given the tough cir stances. Pau deal was awful. Mills deal was awful. Trading of Bertans was extremely questionable in terms of results. There are things to point to that make it tough to blame anyone, but results wise it there are a lot of curious decisions.
Drafting is key and that has gone well, but free agency (external and internal) have been questionable at best (giving dead money to players for no reason, Pau/Mills, not making any changes to a team that very clearly needs big changes in order to truly compete).
Hopefully he has at least another dozen years in him before he wants to ride off into the sunset.

Dozen? We need another dozen from Pop tbh. RC better have another 20 in him.

Out of that list, Pau and Patty concern me. There is so much we don't know about the Kawhi trade, but I'm not inclined to believe that they threw in the towel. I've even wondered if they tried to "do the right thing" by Kawhi, even in that situation - that would be consistent with their philosophy all along. So they sent him to a contender, but got him out of the West? It's impossible to say whether they could have gotten someone like Siakam out of the deal.
Trading Bertans looked like a very good move, when they did it. I don't see how you hold them responsible for Morris reneging. It's such a ridiculous, rare occurrence, teams haven't based their plans around it happening. It would be like staying home all the time, for fear that someone might break in.
The article talks about how the Spurs process is open, and everyone has an opportunity to weigh in on decisions. That says they weren't looking for one guy to make all the brilliant decisions on his own, so I doubt that his input was given any outsized weight in what happened. More likely he understands their methodology and culture, and is likely to continue it. That's the way I read it until I hear or see something different.
From my understanding RC is going to be in charge of everything under Spurs Sports and Entertainment. Pretty much CEO. Rick Pych is probably out. Don't quote me though. I'm not 100 % sure on that.
Kawhi was an unrestricted free agent.
I've also heard the Spurs will have a familiar face as a new assistant coach. A fellow by the name Timothy Theodore Duncan. I'm about 95% sure on this.
Wow - that would be surprisingMakes sense as to why SA has not replaced all their losses yet and why some familiar faces like Chad didn’t come back if true.
This news deserves a thread on it's own. Pop's successor maybe?
