Attempting To Fix This Mess

[Das Texan]

Pick up Giddy at the deadline
Retire Pop
Hire Doc Rivers
Sign CP3 in the summer
Trade KJ
Hire a real shooting coach

Id rather keep Pop if it means getting Doc....

Yeah, Doc wouldn't make a difference. He's not and never has been a rebuilding coach. He's also 62 and just as out of touch as Pop. Spurs need a younger coach that will teach the youngsters. Not hiring Udoka was missed opportunity - guy is working magic in Houston. The Rox may have overpaid for Van Fleet but that's price if you want a competent point guard in this league. Spurs are learning that the hard way with the Sochan experiment.

The entire coaching staff needs to be changed first.

Pop, the "yes men" assistants, and that useless who's currently the shooting coach. His claim to fame on youtube is teaching Derrick Rose(31% 3P), Russell Westbrook(30% 3P), and John Wall(32% 3P) how to shoot. Chip is laughing his ass off in OKC.

if Chip is such an incredible shooting coach, then why have the Spurs been so bad at shooting 3-pointers the last two seasons with him?
are you even aware that most NBA players train shooting mainly in the summer with personal coaches?

meanwhile
Keldon 32.9 > 35.6
Vassell 38.7 > 40.6
Sochan 24.6 > 38.2

Man I’m gonna end up sounding like a huge Doc Rivers fan, which I’m not, but so many people here are shortchanging him it’s ridiculous. The dude has won everywhere he’s went. Maybe not championships, and nowhere am I stating he will ring with us, but he would get us to the playoffs.

What argument, besides lack of playoff success (which I’d argue is a dumb one bc the Spurs have the worst record in the west and are nowhere near the playoffs) are y’all so against Rivers? I’d like to hear a good one

If you’re off.loading Pop, and hiring someone else,it’s for the future,not for now,and quite frankly, I don’t want our future to be Doc Rivers coughing up 3-1 playoff series leads. His playoff failures are ABSOLUTELY relevant to the future.

Let’s hire Derek Fisher as coach and he can bring in the triangle. Wemby can be Pau and Vessel can be Kobe! Sochan will be Artest obviously.

Seconds: I literally don't care right now. There will likely be some capable players taken there. It's just going to be a challenge fitting them on even two-way spots.

I just want to underscore your point here that I took quite a bit of heat from several on here. I recall being quite nonplussed while others clapped like seals at our recent front office work that kept bringing in second rounders.

At some point, notably on a rebuilding team, you just cannot keep adding useless picks. There's simply no room nor need for them especially in our current environment.

And how many 2nds does it take to equal a 1st? As I said then and I repeat, 2nd rounders are virtually meaningless, even a hindrance you could say, at this point in our process.
