7) I still like the idea of bringing back Avery Johnson as an assistant. In retrospect, he did great work with the 2006 Mavs. That wasn't a very talented team and he had them within an inch of a championship. Plus, some of his innovations (isolating Dirk midpost around the free throw line, constant pick-and-rolls to force mismatches, killing teams who employed slow centers) are now used league-wide and can be traced back to his mid-00s Mavs teams. Sure, he's gruff and not super player-friendly, but he's smart, dedicated and not afraid to share his opinions, to say the least.

Don't we already have one of those?

Wasn't too stoked about losing Udoka but I'm not upset about getting a major shakeup with the assistants I think it'll be good for the team.

[Keepin' it real]

Three cheers for Messina.

Hip hip, hooray!
Hip hip, hooray!
Hip hip, hooray!

Just for some closure. Nothing juicy.

Is Kevin Ollie doing anything?

Spurs were always willing to help out disgraced college coaches, and he's a former player who was known for his good relationships with players. Rehabbing the image under Pop seems a good way to help the resume.

But he might be waiting on that $10 million he's trying to get out UConn

Could he take Becky with him please!

Wouldn't mind bringing Avery Johnson back at all as an assistant. Jeff Bzdelik would also be a really good pickup imo.

Messina's presentation and interview in Milan was awesome.

He admitted he wouldn't have taken the job if it didn't come with POBO role along the HC duties.

He said that he really wanted to be the Head Coach of a team again after working and learning alongside Pop.

He said that he's now looking for his own RC Buford for the FO.

And he finished joking that if Messina the Coach is underperforming he will fire him and hire another Head Coach
